Eighteen sports in one 15 × 15 grid: soccer, basketball, swimming, archery, cricket, gymnastics and more. It is pitched at children aged about 9 to 12, with words running across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Hand it out on a rainy PE day or during a sports week.

What’s in the PDF

  • Page 1: the 15 × 15 grid (words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards) and the list of 18 words to find.
  • Page 2: the answer key, with every word highlighted.
  • Black and white, US Letter with 18 mm margins, so it also prints on A4 at 100 % scale.

Tip: Several words end in -ING or -BALL; spotting those endings in the grid is the fastest way to locate swimming, skiing, running, baseball and football.
