Vocabulary for the search

Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include ball, racket, court, team, race, goal. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.

After the activity

Choose an object and name two activities that use it; a ball alone does not identify one sport. Connect sports with equipment and movement without requiring knowledge of every rule.

Use a search method

Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
