Printable Activity Page 1 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.
