Pickleball mania has taken over 
the United States. The Sports & 
Fitness Industry Association called 
pickleball the fastest-growing sport 
in the U.S. About 5 million people 
were playing it in 2021. That’s 
nearly twice as many as in 
2019.
Pickleball is like tennis 
and ping-pong. It’s easy to 
learn. “Someone could learn in 
30 minutes or less,” Jim Berger 
says. He’s a director for U.S.A. 
Pickleball. That group helps 
promote the growth of the sport. 
Many people make friends 
playing pickleball. “It affects my 
relationship with my classmates,” 
says Elizabeth Pavon, 11. She 
learned the sport in gym class. 
“It helps us get more together.”
Pickleball has even become 
a professional sport. The 
Professional Pickleball 
Association holds national 
tournaments. So does Major 
League Pickleball. The sport 
could become an Olympic event. 
Olivia Sutton, 15, plans to go pro. 
She says, “I feel like everybody 
who plays [pickleball] falls in love 
with it.” —By Brian S. McGrath
A pickleball player returns a shot in Holly 
Hill, Florida.
Men’s doubles compete in a Major League 
Pickleball match in Columbus, Ohio, in October.

The automaker BMW showed off its color-changing 
car at CES. That’s a technology show. It took place 
in Las Vegas, Nevada, in January. 
The vehicle is electric. It’s called the BMW i 
Vision Dee. Dee stands for “Digital Emotional 
Experience.” The car can display up to 32 colors. 
Drivers can change the colors according to their 
mood. The headlights and front can show facial 
expressions, such as joy. 
The flashy car isn’t the only cool 
thing tech companies showed off 
at CES. One was a device called 
Wehead. It helps people on a video 
call appear as though they are there in 
3D. And there was a robot called ADAM. It 
makes boba, or bubble, tea. Plus, it can dance!
COLORFUL CAR
MESSAGE FROM THE PAST
BY CRISTINA FERNANDEZ 
On January 17, archaeologists in 
Norway announced a discovery. They 
may have found the world’s oldest 
rune stone. The flat rock is etched with 
runes. These are letters. They’re from 
an ancient language. The stone could 
have been carved 2,000 years ago. 
Not all the markings make sense. 
There’s the word Idiberug, for instance. 
It could be a name. “This may be one of 
the first attempts to use runes in Norway 
and Scandinavia on stone,” Kristel 
Zilmer says. She’s a professor. She works 
at the University of Oslo, in Norway. 
Zilmer calls the discovery a 
“sensational thing.” The rune stone 
is on show for a month. It is at the 
Museum of Cultural History, in Oslo.
The runes on this stone may be the oldest example 
of this kind of writing.

Ice cream used to be a treat for the wealthy. It wasn’t easy for 
everyone else to fi nd. That’s until Augustus Jackson solved this 
problem. Ice Cream Man is Jackson’s biography. It was written by 
GLENDA ARMAND and KIM FREEMAN. TFK Kid Reporter Mason 
Langer spoke with them. 
Freeman had the 
idea for the book . 
“I love ice cream, so 
let’s look at its 
history,” she told TFK. 
The book shows how 
Jackson pursued his 
interests. The authors 
hope kids do too. It 
might lead to sweet 
success.
Maybe you’ve read Roald Dahl’s Matilda. Maybe 
you’ve seen the 1996 movie. Or maybe you’ve 
seen the stage musical. Now the magical tale is 
steaming on Netflix. 
Roald Dahl’s Matilda: The Musical is adapted 
from the stage musical. It tells the story 
of a young book-lover. She finds her 
magic and saves her school from an 
evil headmistress. She does it with her 
kindly teacher, Miss Honey, at her side. 
ALISHA WEIR plays Matilda. “We can 
all really take something from Matilda,” 
she told TIME for Kids. “You can take 
away to be strong like Matilda and have 
lots of courage.” 
Alisha Weir 
(right) is the 
title character 
in Matilda.
Lashana Lynch 
(below) plays 
Miss Honey.
