Instructions

How to Play:

- Everyone should split into two teams.
- One team should bat first, while the other team bowls and fields.

- One player from the batting team should stand in front of the wicket, holding the bat. They are the batter.
The rest of the batting team should stand in a line until it’s their turn to be the batter.

- One player from the fielding team should stand behind the wicket. They’re the wicket keeper.
- One player from the fielding team should stand at least 2 metres away from the batter. They’re the bowler.
- The rest of the fielding team should spread out around the space.

Once everyone’s in position, the bowler should bowl underarm towards the batter. The batter should try to hit the ball. The further they hit the ball, the longer they’ll have to score runs (but they should make sure a fielder can’t catch it).

The batter should try to score more runs by running around the marker set out. They can keep running back and forth as many times as they like, however once the bowler has the ball returned to them, they are free to bowl at the wicket.

The fielders should try to catch (or run to and retrieve) the ball. They should throw it to the bowler so they can continue to bowl at the wicket.

How to catch a batter out

- Any fielder catches the ball before it bounces (or touches the floor).
- The bowler bowls the ball and it hits the wicket (usually because the batter has missed).
- The batter steps on or knocks over their own wicket (including with their bat).
