About this worksheet

US school sports vocabulary — the ones that actually show up in elementary PE and after-school leagues. Handy for a field day packet, an indoor recess folder, or the week before a school tournament.

How to use it

  • Print it as it is. Page one is the puzzle, page two is the answer key. Sized for US Letter at full print resolution.
  • Swap in your own words. Open the maker, paste this week's spelling list, and the grid rebuilds in a second.
  • Change the difficulty. Easy hides words across and down only. Hard adds diagonals and backwards words for stronger readers.
