About this word search
Many New Zealand schools have a road patrol, where older students swing out the stop signs at the school crossing before and after school. Children learn to give way, use the footpath and look both ways, and everyone on a bike must wear a helmet, which has been the law here since 1994.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Zebra crossing is the longest with thirteen letters, then Look both ways with twelve. Kerb, Horn and Bike are the shortest at four letters. Look for the Z in Zebra crossing, the J in Judder bar, the Kiwi word for a speed bump, and the V in Hi-vis vest, Give way and Driveway. Hi-vis vest runs as HIVISVEST, and all two-word names run together without spaces.
Walk or bike the route to school with the sheet in your pocket and tick off every word you actually see on the way. Then talk about which spot on the route feels the least safe and why.
