Q&A Baseball

=Q&A Baseball = This is another Q&A game using some of the rules of Japan's favorite sport - baseball. If you have room in the classroom, have your students push out their desks and make a temporary baseball field with some tape. Otherwise, make at least 8 magnet baseball players (4 for each team) and draw a big baseball diamond on the blackboard. Have the HRT participate by having them keep score throughout the innings. Make a make-shift 10-sided die with the words: single (6), double (2), triple (1), home-run (1). Since there might be a chance that this game might go on too long for one inning, only play for 3 innings.





How to play:
 * 1) Split the class up to two teams.
 * 2) You, the ALT, will act as the pitcher.
 * 3) Have both teams play RPS to decide who bats first.
 * 4) ALT starts the game with a question to the first “batter”


 * 1) *HIT! = roll the die


 * 1) *#Single = advance 1 base
 * 2) *#Double = advance 2 bases


 * 1) *#  Triple = advance 3 bases
 * 2) *#<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Home-run = advance all the way to home base.
 * 3) *<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">MISS! = out (3 outs, the 2 <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">nd <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> team bats)

 * 1) <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:1.15;white-space:pre-wrap;">The team with the most points after 3 innings is the winner.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">*Make sure that you have plenty of time setting the game up with the students, like time when moving the seats and explaining the rules for those who aren't quite familiar with baseball.
