About this word search

Young football fans often know the words Ball, Goal and Kick long before they can read them, which gives them a head start. Pitch and Boots add a bit of the kit.

Each word runs left to right or downwards. Net and Win are three letters each. Shoot has a double O, and Pass ends with a double S, both handy things to look for.

After finding the words, go into the garden and act out each one: pass, kick, shoot and score a goal.
