About this word search
The summer holidays in New Zealand start just before Christmas and last about six weeks, until school goes back in late January or early February. It is the season of the road trip, the holiday park and the swimming hole with a rope swing, and of long days with the cousins.
Fish and chips and Swimming hole are the longest, with twelve letters each. Holiday park has eleven. Map is the shortest, with three letters, and Tent and Lake have four. Words go across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards. Campground and Campervan both begin with CAMP, so check the ending before marking.
A good one for the back seat on a long drive. Give each child a copy and a different colour, and whoever finishes first chooses the next stop for an ice cream.
