Students in groups of 4/5. Place wickets in middle of space so batters (blue) are standing back to back so balls get hit outwards. Bowler (red) throws ball underarm 10 times and then becomes batter. Batter becomes a fielder until all students have had a turn at both batting and bowling. Batter's, especially in older grades, may 'run' from the wickets to the bowlers position. Students keep count of own runs.
Ensure all students are holding the bat correctly.
