PowerPoint Baseball
Divide the class into the A Teamand the B Team.
Flip a coin to see who goes first. Keep track
of which team is up, what batters have already
hit (eachbatter can only hit once) and how many
base hits and runs each team makes.
2
Directions Your team gets 3 times at bat. If
you correctly guess a question, you move to a
base. If your team guesses incorrectly, the
other team is up to bat. The team with the most
runs at the end of the game wins. Divide the
class into Team A and Team B. Then divide the
teams into groups of 3-4 students. Flip a coin
to see if the A or B Team goes first. The first
small group then must agree on the player that
bats first. Note this on the board because each
batter can only play once in the game. When the
question appears, other team members can whisper
an answer to the group, but if the answer is
heard by the teacher before the group is ready to
give an answer, the team loses their turn and the
play goes to the other team. Teams have 45
seconds to answer. Play continues until a given
time, a given number of runs are achieved, or all
batters have played.
