Puzzle guide
About easy sports word search puzzles
What they are
Easy sports word searches place SOCCER, TENNIS, GOLF and HOCKEY in straight lines across and down, always reading forwards. Grids range from a 10×10 warm-up to a 20×20 full match with up to 25 sports. The word list mixes ball games, water sports and winter sports, so every puzzle has something for the football fan, the swimmer and the skier. The bigger grids add Olympic events such as ARCHERY and FENCING.
How to play
Pick a sport, find its first letter, and follow the row right or the column down. Ring it and tick it off, like scoring a point for your team.
Tips
BASKETBALL and VOLLEYBALL are long and easy to find first. Short sports like GOLF and JUDO hide well, so save them for the end.
Who they suit
Easy sports puzzles suit children from six, rainy-day PE lessons, and sports-mad kids.
Printing
Print an easy sports grid to calm the nerves before a big game. Answer keys print separately.
