 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This activity is a wonderful lead up game for either kickball or tee ball.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This game may be played either indoors or outside.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The more equipment you have, the more mini games you can play.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Each mini game needs a wait cone, home plate, pitcher's mound, base, hula hoop, kickball OR a whiffle ball/plastic bat/batting tee.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Each player gets to be a kicker, pitcher and fielder without waiting a long time to take their turn.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Set up playing area with a mini game for every 4-5 players.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The KICKER must kick the ball in fair territory. So, the ball may not go through the neighboring team's base.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The KICKER runs back and forth from home plate to the base until they hear the FIELDER yells, "STOP"!
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> If the KICKER gets to one base they earn one point and it's equivalent to making it to first base.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The breakdown is as follows: 2 bases=2 points=2nd base, 3 bases=3 points=3rd base, 4 bases=4 points=a homerun!
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> There are NO outs in this game. Students may accumulate their points through out the game. The runner earns those points by running bases until that FIELDER yells, "STOP" and the FIELDER must have both feet inside of the hula hoop when ending the play.
 * <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The rotation of players is as follows: Any person waiting gets to be the KICKER. The KICKER moves to PITCHER. The PITCHER moves to FIELDER. The FIELDER goes behind the wait cone and waits the wait cone.

<span style="FONT-SIZE: 130%; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia, serif">**GO:** <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Model and describe game rules to the class. Direct them to go a mini field with 4-5 people total.
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When they arrive at their mini game they may all stand in a line behind the wait cone.
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The teacher then announces, "the first person goes to the fielding position, the second person goes to pitcher" and so on.
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The teacher may announce to mix up the order half way through the activity. That way, the same pitcher does not always pitch to the same kicker.
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Remind the kids to keep track of their points and to have fun!
