Two equal numbered teams take turns to field and bat. Fielders are shown in orange, batters in green. The fielder at the orange cone is the bowler, they trow the ball the the batter at the blue cones. the batter must hit the ball forward with any part of their body. Once the batter has hit the ball they must run to one of the safe zones-denoted by the red cones and then run back, if they get there and back in one turn they get 1 point for their team, if they choose to stay and then run back on a different turn they only get 1/2 a point. If the ball is caught without touching the ground the batter is out, if the ball hits the batter while they are running, they are out, if the ball goes behind the batter when they hit it they are out. If the batter hits the back wall and makes it back they get the point/ 1/2 point and an out teammate may rejoin the batting queue. If multiple people are out, they return in the order they went out.
