Pickle

ages 4-6

Supplies

Ball, two bases, at least three people

Activity Detail

You need to have three or more people to play pickle. Set up two bases a distance apart so that children have to run between the bases. Two people are the catchers and the rest are the runners. The catchers pass a ball back and forth and the runners try to steal the bases as the catchers throw the ball, hoping they don't get caught in a pickle. The catchers are trying to tag the runner. You can also play so that a runner who is caught becomes the catcher and the catcher can become a runner.
