Baseball

How to make it

Print out or draw your own game board. Use magnets to represent players on base. Use a whiteboard to keep score.

How to play

Baseball is a really long game, so this would be best used as a review for a quarter or a year, and will probably take up the whole class time or more.

Divide the children into 2 teams. Let each team choose it’s name or mascot. Only let a team move a player on the board once they have correctly answered a question. Let each team choose whether they want an easy question (first base) moderate question (second or third base) or home run. Another option is to have a spinner to determine how far they can go with a correct answer. An incorrect answer counts as an out. 3 incorrect answers means the end of an inning. You may want to limit the number of innings just to end the game sooner.
