In this sport I might be doing the breaststroke, butterfly or backstroke. Which sport is it?

Swimming. If you cannot swim, get someone you know to teach you. It is good exercise. It will help to keep you fit - and it is great fun too!

For my next sport I use a long pole with a paddle on the end of it. I have two of these. One in each hand. They are called oars. What am I doing now?

Rowing. It is hard to row in a straight line at first. But you soon get the hang of it. If you go on the water in a boat or dinghy ALWAYS REMEMBER TO WEAR A LIFE JACKET!

What can I do next to use up some more of my energy? I know! I need some boots with small wheels on the bottom of them. What am I up to this time?

Roller-skating. Roller-skating is difficult at first. But you soon get the knack. You might fall over, so ALWAYS wear the right protective clothing.

For my next sport I need a racket, some balls and a net. What am I playing?

Tennis. Tennis is played on a tennis court, against an opponent. They hold big tournaments all over the world to find out who is the best player.

I am on the move again. This time I have wheels, two pedals and handlebars. What am I doing now?

Cycling. It takes a while to get your balance on a bicycle so ALWAYS wear a helmet.

For my next sport I need some stumps, a hard ball and a bat. What game am I playing this time?

Cricket. Cricket is a summer game. It is played between two teams on a large field. It can take five days to complete a match. Cricket was first played more than 400 years ago.

I have moved on to the athletics arena - phew this is tiring! I am about to throw a type of spear as far as I can. I had better be careful with this one! What is the sport I am doing called?

The Javelin. A top athlete can throw a javelin nearly 100 yards [almost 95 metres]. Watch out!

For this sport I need to wear gloves and shorts. It takes place in a thing called a ring - but it is square! What am I doing now?

Boxing. In boxing two men punch one another and try to knock their opponent down. Ouch! I do not like this. Let us move on.

I am now in a gymnasium bouncing myself high into the air. Look! I can do somersaults. This is fun. What am I jumping on?

A Trampoline. With some practice on the trampoline you can learn to perform lots of acrobatic jumps.

This is my last sport today. Good; I am really tired now. Well, I have my feet in stirrups and reins in my hands. This is more relaxing! What am I doing?

Horse Riding. Horses are wonderful creatures. It is fairly easy to ride a well trained horse. But remember if you get on a horse ALWAYS wear a safety helmet. Good luck! I am off for a well earned rest. It has been a busy day.
