A baseball-like playground game.

Kickball is the perfect playground game. Children of all ages run out at reccess to enjoy a nice game of kickball.

Where to play:

A baseball field, or a place with four marked bases.

How to play:

1. Everyone divides into two teams. One team plays in the field first, and the second lines up to kick.

2. The pitcher rolls the ball towards the kicker, who obviously kicks it. If a player in the field catches the ball, they are out. If the kicker or base is tagged with the ball before the kicker reaches the base, they are out.

3. A run is scored if a player runs around all four bases without getting out.

4. The kicking team takes turns kicking until three players are out, then the teams switch positions and play continues.

5. The winner is decided by which team scores the most runs.

6. If a kick goes behind a desginated line, it is deemed a foul ball, and a strike, and the player kicks again. If the kicker misses the ball, it is also a strike. Three strikes = an out.

Every playground has it's own variations, but fun is the universal rule!
