1. HIT & RUN Primary school “R. Pezzani” – Lodi - ITALY FOURTH CLASSES school year 2009/2010

2. Title: HIT & RUN What you need A big space to play: a gym, a garden, or a playground. A little ball, a bat, a home plate and other three bases Safety points When you beat, drop the bat carefully. Be carefull not to run into anyone. Use soft balls and a baseball bat made of rubber. How do we adapt for bigger/ smaller group sizes? You need two teams. Each team can have a lot of players, infact this game is right for all classes Easier The pitcher is the coach Components of the defending team trying to retrieve the ball and let it get to the defender of each base before your opponent would travel around track. Full circle, touching all the bases, is a point for the team. What to do

5. THE PITCHER IS THE COACH

6. THE BAT IS MADE OF RUBBER. THE BALL IS SOFT.

7. There are four bases: the home base and other three bases.

8. The green team is in attack and the blue team is in defence. Then it will be the opposite.

9. THE BATTER CAN TRY THREE TIMES TO HIT THE BALL,THEN HE/SHE IS OUT.

10. If the batter hits the ball, he/she throws away the bat ( take care …not too strong! !) and runs to reach the first base. The player, who is just in the first base, runs to reach the second base,..etc… The players in defence try to intercept the ball, to stop the running of the players in attack.The players in attack made a point when they touch all the three bases and comes back to the home base.

11. After you hit the ball, it's time to run more quickly than you can
