Lower School has been playing a game called "Kickball Cricket". This is a lead up to a kickball game as you may know it. There are three positions: batter, pitcher, and outfielder. The Pitcher rolls the ball, the Batter kicks the ball and then runs in between each cone (2 bases) to score points. The Outfielder collects the ball and brings it back to the cone to stop the runner. After each batter, the students rotate positions. Below, you will see 1st grade demonstrating.
As the game progresses, the outfielders are asked to throw the ball to the pitcher to stop the runner (relay). Below you will see Second Grade demonstrating. As time continues, more bases will be added to "score points" until it looks more like a formal kickball game.
