Run the bases in order during kickball
When to use this goal
For students who kick the ball but then run the wrong way, skip bases or keep running when they should stop. Present levels in game play, not grade, decide fit. Applies to kickball, tee-ball and other base games.
- Baseline
- Score the student's first five times on base during two games: did they run to the right base and touch it, and stop or go as the play called for? Note which errors come up most.
- Tips
- Every time on base counts as one opportunity. Colored markers that match a picture of the field help students who need a visual. A peer base coach is a natural role that keeps the game moving.
- Limits
- Does not score kicking or fielding. Game pace varies with the class; probe in the same kind of game. Decisions about tagging up and force outs are beyond this template.
