Split into groups of 5 or 6. Each group needs a bat, a ball, a set of stumps and two cones. Each player is scoring for themselves. Each player gets 1 over (six balls) to score as many runs as they can. Each player starts on 10 runs, every time they hit the ball the get 1 run, they also get a run for each time they manage to run between the two sets of cones, 1 for each. Each wicket lost either caught, bowled or run out is -3 runs Make sure everyone rotates round after every over, so the batter, the wicket keeper and the bowler changes. You can use a number system or set rotation for younger groups to make it fair.
Bowling with straight arm if possible, underarm is ok if are really struggling. Fielders can choose their positioning. can they think where the ball is regularly being hit. Can they throw the ball to the wicket keeper instead of running it in. Can the batter choose well when to run - what do they do if it goes straight to a fielder? What about if they hit into a space. Wicket keepers, can they remember the ready position? Do they follow the ball by going sideways and watch the ball into their hands?
