About this word search
New Zealand has no medieval castles, but Larnach Castle on the Otago Peninsula, begun in 1871, comes close, and medieval fairs and re-enactment groups around the country keep the stories of knights alive. Children meet knights and castles in books, films and on dress-up days.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Drawbridge is the longest with ten letters, then Chain mail with nine. Moat and King are just four letters. Look for the Q in Queen and Squire, the J in Joust and the W in Sword, Tower and Drawbridge. Chain mail runs together without a space.
Children can design their own coat of arms on the back of the sheet, with colours and animals that mean something to them, perhaps a kiwi or a tūī instead of a lion.
