About this word search

Lollies are a big part of growing up in New Zealand. Pineapple lumps, Jaffas, jet planes and milk bottles come in bags from the supermarket, a chocolate fish is the classic reward for a job well done, and hokey pokey, vanilla ice cream with crunchy honeycomb toffee, is the Kiwi ice cream flavour. In Dunedin, tens of thousands of Jaffas have been rolled down Baldwin Street, one of the steepest streets in the world, in a race for charity.

The grid is fourteen by fourteen with words across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Pineapple lumps is the longest with fourteen letters and stretches right across the grid. Chocolate fish has thirteen. Moro and K bar are the shortest at four letters, and K bar becomes KBAR in the grid. Russian fudge and mixed lollies run together without a space, and the J in Jaffas, jelly beans, jet planes and Jubes gives you four places to start.

Use it at a birthday party or a sleepover: the first one to find all twenty picks first from the lolly bag. Or ask a grandparent which lollies on the list they had as a child and which ones are new to them.
