| FRENCH CRICKET |
|
|
|
There is no real aim to this fun twist on cricket other than to 'stump' out the batsman. The fun of the game is watching the batsman twist his torso to defend his legs. |
|
MATERIALS
- A cricket bat or tennis racket and a ball
INSTRUCTIONS
- Ask all the players to stand in a circle - upwards of 4 children can play
(but it's best to keep numbers down to about 8 in total).
- Chose someone to bat first - they need to stand with their feet together, defending
the 'stumps', which in French cricket are the batsman's legs below the
knees.
- The players in the circle take turns to bowl at the 'stumps'
and the batsman must hit the ball away. The bowler can use trickery and
cunning to distract the batsman - that's part of the fun of the game!
- If the batsman's legs are hit he is out. He is also out if he moves his
feet at any time from their original position
- If the bowler or any of the fielders around the circle catch the ball
the batsman has hit before it hits the ground he will also be out
- Everyone has a go at bowling until the batsman is out - the bowler then
takes the batsman's place.
There is no real aim to the game - the person who seems impossible to 'stump' can be named the winner, but
the main point is to have fun so make sure everyone has a go at batting.
