Good to know about Gymnastics word search
Every Gymnastics puzzle on this page is free to play online and free to print as a PDF with its answer key, one by one. Only the optional booklet, all 12 puzzles bundled into one print-ready file, costs money.
The medium puzzle Apparatus has VAULT, UNEVEN BARS, BALANCE BEAM, FLOOR, POMMEL HORSE, STILL RINGS, PARALLEL BARS and HIGH BAR, so it covers both the women's and men's events.
The medium puzzle Rhythmic Gymnastics has ROPE, RIBBON, CLUBS, HOOP and BALL, the five hand apparatus, plus words like GRACE, ROUTINE and FLEXIBILITY. Easy Gymnast Gear also lists LEOTARD and CHALK.
The puzzles use skills, apparatus, scoring terms and countries, but no gymnast names. The vocabulary is general, so it works for any gym, club or classroom.
Easy puzzles (10 by 10, words across and down) work from about age 6. Medium puzzles (13 by 13, diagonals added) suit ages 8 to 11. Hard puzzles (16 by 16, every direction, backwards too) are for older kids and adults.
Page 2 of every PDF is the answer key, with each word marked where it hides. When you play online, the Show answers button marks them on the grid.
Every puzzle comes as a US Letter PDF (8.5 by 11 inches) and an A4 PDF (210 by 297 mm). Print at 100% or Actual size.
Every puzzle on this page plays in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer: drag or tap from the first to the last letter of a word. Nothing to install and no account.
