LIVESTOCK BASEBALL
RESOURCES NEEDED: NONE OR YOU CAN BRING ITEMS TO ID
SET UP TO PLAY:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
You have 2 teams.
You need a pitcher-this person is the same person for both teams
Questions list or items to ID
Scorekeeper- A parent or 4-Her.
Use plates for bases.
RULES TO PLAY:
1. Pitcher asks a question to the first “batter” on the team. (Batter is a term for who is up to get the
questions – so you need a “batting order”…..use the same order each time so everyone gets a chance
to play. OPTION: Some groups like to have batters be groups of youth….like 2-3 people so that you
can have the youth share knowledge. This works well when you have older and younger kids, as well
as youth in different projects with different knowledge bases/backgrounds.
2. OFFENSE - If “batter” gets question right – it is a “HIT”.
3. If they get it wrong that is “STRIKE ONE” They get 3 strikes for an out(up to 3 questions). Correct
answers are given each time….so they can learn.
4. Batters can get a “HIT” when they get their question correct………AND then there is “Defense” – as
there are two teams here.
5. DEFENSE- Ask the other team a question which ANYONE on the team can answer. If they get it correct
– then that HIT has been properly defended and that “BATTER” is out.
6. Thus, the defense can record an “OUT” by “Stiriking out” a “BATTER”(not getting any of 3 questions
correct) OR the other team properly defends the “HIT”.
7. 3 outs and the other team is up.
8. You score by a team advancing runners around the bases.
NOTE – A pitcher tries to make the game go well by mixing in some easy and hard questions.
