About this word search

Valentine's Day on 14 February falls in the middle of summer in New Zealand, a week after Waitangi Day. Cards and red roses are the classics, but a picnic on the beach or fish and chips at sunset are just as Kiwi. Aroha, the te reo Māori word for love, belongs on any list like this.

Secret admirer is the longest entry, with thirteen letters in the fourteen by fourteen grid. Chocolates and Friendship have ten. Hug and Red are only three letters, and Card, Love, Kiss, Pink, Date and Poem have four, so the short words often take the longest to find. Words go across, down and diagonally, never backwards. The only Q is in Bouquet.

In class, students can pick three words from the sheet and write a short card to a friend or someone in their whānau using all three. Friendship counts as much as romance here.
