What You Need:

Cricket bat or tennis racket
Tennis Ball

Activity:

All players stand in a large circle around the first batter. He stands in the centre of the circle with the bat and with his legs together.

His legs, below his knees, become the stumps.

The players in the circle bowl at the 'stumps' and the batter must try and hit the ball away. If he hits the ball he can move his feet in the direction of the next bowler. If he fails to hit the ball he must hit the next ball with his feet remaining in the original position.

He can be caught out if the hit ball is caught on the full. He is also out is his 'wicket' (legs) are hit by the ball.

Either the person who got him out is the next batter, or everyone can take turns.
