Kickball

What you need

• 1 rubber playground ball
• 4 bases (or cones)

Setup

1. Set up bases in a diamond, 20-40 feet apart.
2. Split into 2 teams.

How to play

1. Pitcher rolls the ball to home plate. Kicker kicks and runs.
2. Same rules as baseball: 3 outs per inning, force outs, tag outs, catching a fly = out.
3. Beaning a runner with a thrown ball = out (house rule).
4. Most runs after 5-7 innings wins.

Host tips

• Check the weather — have a rain plan.
• Set clear boundaries so kids/pets don't wander off.
• Rotate teams so everyone plays with everyone.
