About this word search
Bullrush, four square and spotlight are games Kiwi kids have played for generations. There is a flying fox in parks all over the country, and on long summer evenings a game of kick the can can go on until dark.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Treasure hunt is the longest with twelve letters, then hide and seek with eleven. Tag has only three. Hide and seek, four square and kick the can run together without spaces. Look for the double L of bullrush, the X in flying fox and the double E in seesaw, tree hut and hide and seek.
Pick three games from the list and play them at the next lunchtime or birthday party.
