About this word search
Mother's Day in New Zealand is on the second Sunday of May, in late autumn. The classic is breakfast in bed, a cuppa she did not have to make and a handmade card from school. Nana gets a call or a visit too, and whaea and māmā are both words for mother in te reo Māori.
Breakfast in bed is the longest entry, with fourteen letters, a whole row of the fourteen by fourteen grid. Mum is the shortest, with three. Card, Hugs, Love, Nana and Māmā have four, and Nana and Māmā look alike in the grid as NANA and MAMA. The Q in Bouquet is the only one on the board. Words go across, down and diagonally, never backwards.
Let children finish the puzzle at school and give it to Mum with the card. She gets to find the last word herself.
