1 player batting against 4 fielders. Game starts by the bowler bowling a good bowl towards the batter who hits the ball into the direstion of the 2 fielders.

Rounders are scored if the batter runs around the bowler and back or if the batter hits the ball in between the 2 cones (3 and 4) by the 2 fielders on the left.

Fielders can score a point by touchjing cone 1 with the ball before the batter gets back having run round the bowler.

Split the group into teams of 5. One team throwing the ball around posts.

One team running around the posts.

The ball starts by the batting square and has to be thrown to post one then 2 then 3 then 4 then back to the batting square.

The running team have to run and tag.

The first player in the batting square has to run to tag 1st post player this player has to run to release the player at 2nd post etc until the player on the forth post is tagged and runs back to the batting square.

Start again when ball and players are back in position again.

Best of 5 runs.

Ask the players to spread themselves and have 1 ball for the players to throw or roll the ball to each other.

The player in the middle has to try and catch the player in possession of the ball. or get to the ball before a player does if it is badly thrown.

Purpose to make sure players are paying attention at all times

Player in the middle should try to avoid being hit below the waist by a size 5 sponge ball. Players on the outside of the circle must keep the ball inside the circle. Players rotate after 1 minute. A scoring system could be put in place. Eg dodger gets a point every time the ball goes out of the circle. Players on the outside get a point every time the dodger is hit by the ball.
