It can be difficult to find activities that are about New Zealand and New Zealanders.

This ‘Teachers Timesaver’ is a set of ‘Kiwi Kids’ Crosswords!

The Crossword Puzzles and Answer sheet, which will be emailed to you as a .pdf file, will be a great asset to teachers and parent’s home schooling older children!

Relief teachers – One of these crosswords would be a great starter for the day – which could even develop into a whole day’s programme, as students’ research one aspect, of the ‘Kiwiana’ featured.

Research it - Read about it – Write about it – Illustrate it!

This resource, is more suitable for students Year 4 to Year 6+, and includes 14 different crosswords on these themes

• NZ Birds
• Our National Identity
• NZ Wildlife
• NZ Towns
• Outdoor Sports

• Places in History
