VALENTINE´S DAY KICKBALL

"Kickball is a playground game and league game, similar to baseball, invented in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. It is similar to baseball where players kick the ball to bat it instead of using bats, making it more accessible to young children. As in baseball, teams alternate innings with one team attempting to score by having its players circle the bases and the other team in the outfield working to stop runs from being scored. Players on the batting team kick an inflated rubber ball to advance players around the bases and thus score runs. The team with the most runs after a predefined number of innings wins.

Kickball is a popular playground sport and is typically played among young, school-age children.^{[citation needed]} The lack of both specialized equipment and highly skill-based positions (like pitcher) makes the game an accessible introduction to other sports. It is less popular among adults, who are more commonly known to play similar games like softball and baseball. "

"The game seems to afford equal enjoyment to the childrens and it gives a better understanding of the national game (Baseball), and at the same time affords them an exercise that is not too violent and is full of fun."

Today we took the time from Arts and Crafts to learn a 

new game.  We had the 4th grade against the 5th 

grade.

The kids took a little longer than I expected to master 

the game so we had to lwave the actual plating for 

another day!

Let´s not forget that today is VALENTINE´S DAY, so 

we made a special card to share with a loved one. 

There were some really great projects and texts!
