About these sports crosswords
Game On is easy and covers popular games from around the world: soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball, volleyball, golf, hockey, rugby, cricket, archery, rowing and badminton. Olympic Sports is medium and moves on to fencing, gymnastics, javelin, hurdles, decathlon, triathlon, biathlon, curling, luge and bobsled.
Sports Terms and Legends is hard. It asks for golf words such as birdie, bogey and albatross, tennis words such as deuce and ace, and stars such as Ali, Pelé, Owens and Gretzky. The clues describe the equipment, the playing field, a famous rule or a famous name, so fans will race through them. You do not need to be an athlete to solve the easy ones.
They work well as a warm-up in physical education class, as a challenge on a team bus ride, or as a quiet activity for kids waiting between matches. Solve them online or print them with the answer key. To make your own, choose the sports of one club, one school or one Olympic season.
