This is a SPARK Phys Ed activity.

The goal for the runner is to "beat the ball." They kick a ball rolled to them and then run all the bases. All the basemen are trying to throw the ball to every person before the runner gets back to home plate.

This could also be played in a soccer type setting where the kicker kicks the ball and the basemen have to "pass" the ball soccer style between each other instead of throwing it.

After the kicker has had their opportunity to kick and run, everyone rotates to their new position.

NOTES:

If you have a larger class, I would recommend having the kiddos grab 4 of the same color of cone so it's easier to tell which cones are theirs.

Also, encourage them to SPREAD OUT! When I have my 3rd graders try this for the first time, they NEVER give themselves enough space between their group and the other groups around them.
