About this word search

Kiwi kids start young: rippa rugby, netball at school, swimming lessons in summer and a bike ride on the weekend. These ten short words are the sports and moves they know best.

The grid is ten by ten and the words go across or down. Netball and cricket are the longest at seven letters. Run has only three. Kick and bike both have a K and an I, so check which one you have found.

After the puzzle, go outside and do the words you can: run, kick a ball and ride a bike.
