Transcript of Divide the class into the A Team and the B Team. Flip a coin to see who goes first. Keep track of...
Divide the class into the A Teamand the B Team. Flip a coin to see who goes first. Keep track of which team is up, what batters have already hit (eachbatter can only hit once) and how many base hits and runs each team makes.
Directions: Your team gets 3 times at bat. If you correctly guess a question, you move to a base. If your team guesses incorrectly, the other team is up to bat. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
Divide the class into Team A and Team B. Then divide the teams into groups of 3-4 students. Flip a coin to see if the A or B Team goes first. The first small group then must agree on the player that bats first. Note this on the board because each batter can only play once in the game. When the question appears, other team members can whisper an answer to the group, but if the answer is heard by the teacher before the group is ready to give an answer, the team loses their turn and the play goes to the other team. Teams have 45 seconds to answer. Play continues until a given time, a given number of runs are achieved, or all batters have played.
Will you take a base? Click one of your teams’ runners and answer the question to find out.
