Players must run over to the cones, picking one up. Then balance it over to the tennis balls. For ease they can use the cone like an ice-cream bowl. For a more difficult challenge have them try to balance the ball on top of the volcano without it errupting (dropping the ball). They muct carry the ball all the way over to their big cone, placing the ball on top of the big cone and make a pile of small cones next to it. They then grab their baseball bat and hit it off the cone. If players are working in pairs due to their not being enough big cones, then their partner goes next. The winner is the player with the most small cones once all the balls/cones have been collected.
Balance, hand-eye coordination, correct stance, correct use of a bat (2 hands, holding the correct end), speed of play.
