MATERIALS
- A broomstick or thin wooden bat
- Bottle caps to use as the 'ball'
HOW TO PLAY
1
One player pitches by flicking a bottle cap toward the batter, letting its irregular shape curve unpredictably through the air.
2
The batter swings the broomstick, trying to make contact with the erratically moving cap.
3
If contact is made and the cap travels past the fielders without being caught, the batter runs to designated bases.
4
Fielders try to catch the cap on the fly or retrieve it and tag a base before the runner arrives.
5
Keep score using simplified baseball rules, with three missed swings counting as an out.
6
Switch batting and fielding teams after three outs, playing an agreed number of innings.
