KYLIE KANGAROO’S ACTIVITIES

KYLIE’S KICKBALL GAME
(Note: You may use a NERF™ ball or any soft foam ball small enough to fit into the wastebasket.)

Arrange 4 chairs in a diamond shape. One chair is “home plate,”

one is 1st base, one is 2nd base, and one is 3rd base. The “pitcher”
(someone who can read) stands in the center of the diamond.
An overturned rectangular wastebasket is in front of the pitcher, with
the open end facing home plate.
The pitcher reads a word from the word bank below to the “kicker,”
who stands in front of home plate. The kicker has to say whether the
word has the k sound at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.
If the kicker answers correctly, the pitcher rolls the ball to the kicker,
who tries to kick it into the basket. If successful, the kicker moves to
1st base. (If the kicker does not answer correctly
or does not succeed in kicking the ball into the
basket, it’s the next person’s turn.)
When the kicker reaches 1st base, the
pitcher turns the basket toward the kicker
at 1st base and proceeds as before.
A home run is scored when a kicker

makes it all the way around the bases.
