The word grid printed on page 85. The letters shown in orange are the one word the book has already circled for you, reading downwards.
Answer

The word already done for you is REFEREE. It is in the 7th column, reading downwards from the top row.

Every hidden word here reads either down the column or up the column or across a row. Here are ten more — you only need six.

WordWhere it isWhich way to read
REFEREEcolumn 7, rows 1–7downwards (done for you)
SWEATrow 1, letters 2–6across
STACKEDcolumn 1, rows 1–7downwards
DODGEDcolumn 2, rows 3–8downwards
WHISTLEcolumn 3, rows 9 up to 3upwards
WARRIORScolumn 4, rows 2–9downwards
DRIPPINGcolumn 5, rows 9 up to 2upwards
RUNNERcolumn 6, rows 2–7downwards
TEAMWORKcolumn 8, rows 1–8downwards
WAVEDcolumn 9, rows 1–5downwards
INCLUDErow 10, letters 3–9across
Why these words and no others: Every one of them is used in the story. Ravi waved; the stones were stacked; Deepa dodged; the referee blew the whistle; the Green Warriors played the Tigers; sweat was dripping down Ravi’s face; Prakash is a good runner; Guneet wanted to include him; and the match taught everyone about teamwork.
Tip for a word hunt: Take one column at a time and read it downwards, then upwards. Most of the words in this grid are hidden that way, and only two are hidden across.
Q2.
Use these words in sentences of your own.

How to write a good sentence with a new word: Say who does it, then the new word, then what or where. Keep it short. If the sentence makes a clear picture in your head, it is a good sentence.
Tip: Do not just copy these. Change the names to your own friends and the places to your own school. Then the word is really yours.
