Types of Sports Word Search
Twenty-nine sports, one name each, from archery to wrestling: team games such as cricket, rugby and volleyball, the martial arts, and Formula One, the only one on the list with an engine. Football and soccer are both here, because in most of the world they are the same game and in the United States they are not.
Several are named after a place or an object rather than the activity. Badminton takes its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the Duke of Beaufort's estate, where a game brought back from India was played in the 1870s. Lacrosse is French for the stick, the name missionaries gave to a game nations across North America had played for centuries. Squash is named for its soft ball, which squashes against the wall.
The martial arts on the list say what they are. Judo is the gentle way and taekwondo is roughly the way of the foot and the fist. Sumo is the oldest of the three; its rituals come from Shinto, the wrestlers spend far longer preparing than fighting, and a bout is usually over in a few seconds.
