• Kickball continued today - NO PITCH kickball

  • No pitch means no pitcher. Ball is set on the blue mat for a kick (like Tball). The kicker kicks the ball and must run to the bases. To get the kicker out, you have to catch the ball or get the ball back to home base. If any runner is off a base when the ball is put back on home plate, they are all out. If the ball is caught only the kicker that kicked it is out. 

  • Then, add another ball. There are 2 balls that will be kicked by 2 different kickers at the same time. They run and both balls have to be back on home plate to stop the runners. 

  • Then, last adding in that fielders can now get runners out by taking the risk and tagging them out keeping in mind all runners can run until the ball is set back on home plate. 

April 9

  • Teams of 3-4 people

  • Don’t get caught in the web! 

KICKBALL NO PITCH 4 BALL 

-For this game, we can add up to 3-5 kickballs depending on class size

• There are as many kickers as kickballs that kick and run at same time. They have to run all bases and before the fielding team gets all the kickballs back to home plate(blue box) before they get to home plate. 

• Everyone kicks once and only runs count when runner makes it back before the balls are back in the blue box 

• Once everyone kicks the teams switch 

• No outs just runs that do not count 

• Kind of like golden child

• Also can be played where each ball has to go to each base to stop runners and or use 5 balls where the 5th ball is a dodgeball and the other 4 have to be returned to the home  base or bases.

Capture the Flag traditional 

Capture the flag 

•  can be 2 teams or more. Have a prison for people that are tagged. Can add dodgeballs as well to throw to prisoners to catch to get back in or to hit someone trying to steal a flag - if your team has no more flags left, you get absorbed into the team that stole your last flag. Go until one team has all flags 

• 4 teams in 4 corners and each team has a safe zone to be in and guard their flags which is inside their zone and once another team gets on to the flags they are in a safe zone. Outside everyone’s zones is Free play. If you are tagged you sit and have to give up your flag to the person that tagged you and wait to be saved. Once your teammate saves you, you walk back safely to your territory to play again. If a whole team is gone, they have to crab walk and high five one another to get back in. No flags, they are still in to steal other flags. 

or Pirates of the Caribbean (like capture the Flag) 

• Two teams - adventurers can go collect flags and bring them back- if they are tagged by the pirates, they become zombies. A zombie, which has to drag a hula hoop, can tag adventures and if that happens they switch places. This game goes till all the adventurers are zombies or all the flags are collected. OR no zombies and can tag people and they freeze and can be saved if teammates can get to them and save them to get them back in. 

• 3 teams would be great with 2 teams of adventurers and 1 team of pirates and Rotate when the game is done. red and yellow are adventurers and pirates are guarding the flags.  Set up a safe zone for the flags to be in (middle of gym and the outer boundaries safe zones and flags are in the middle. Once a zombie you can switch by tagging an adventurer. Can also have zombies be able to tag pirates.
