About this word search
Backyard cricket is often a child's first taste of the game, played with a tennis ball, a plastic bat and a wheelie bin for stumps. These ten words come straight from that kind of game, from Hit and Run to Catch and Out.
Words in this grid go across or down only. Begin with the three-letter words, Bat, Run, Six, Out and Hit, then move on to Catch, which is the longest. Ask your child to read each one out loud before looking.
Next time you play in the backyard, call out the words as they happen in the game.
