Bowler bowls underarm 6 times before rotating with anyother fielder. Batters bat for a set amount of time unless caught out either by being bowled out, wicket hit or the ball being caught. Runs have to be made whether the ball is hit or not and a run constitutes running around either the offside or on/leg side cones and back to the wicket.
Encourage reaction speed by making the children run even if the ball isnt hit. All children practise and develop their abilities in each role by participating in position for 6 bowls.
