About this word search

Music in a New Zealand classroom often means a ukulele, a set of tī rākau sticks and practice for the kapa haka group, where waiata, haka and poi come together. Every year secondary school groups perform Māori and Pacific dance and song at Polyfest in Auckland.

The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Microphone is the longest with ten letters, then xylophone and conductor with nine. Poi has just three. Kapa haka and tī rākau lose their space and macron, so look for KAPAHAKA and TIRAKAU. The X of xylophone, the Y in rhythm and melody and the two Ks of kapa haka stand out.

Put on a waiata the class knows and let everyone search while it plays. When the song ends, count how many instruments you found.
