●Form teams of six to eight children and set up two or three ●Keep the same teams throughout the course unit and assign ●As a rough guide, set distances between bases at 10 meters (third graders), 12 meters (4th graders), 14 meters (5th graders), and 16 meters (6th graders). However, adjust these distances as necessary in accordance with the ball type and childrenʼs circumstances. The line between the infield and outfield should be about three meters beyond the bases.●Set the bat point zone to the side of the base path so that it does not interfere with running. A hula-hoop or other such item can be used to make the zone.●Because of the danger that the bat will fly to the third base side when a right-handed person is hitting, generally position the bench on the first base side, keeping safety in mind. practice areas. roles, such as “cheering” and “recording.”●Make sure the catcher does not approach home plate until the batter hits the ball. The catcher should be at a position about three meters from home plate.Catcher’s zone and bat point zoneBat point zoneCatcher’s zone6Demonstration3 mAt least 10 mOutfieldInfield5 mBench3 mCatcherBatting teeOnomatopoeic or imitative wordsMain pointsEquipment Lesson formatExplain the purpose and method of the activity being taught and provide a demonstration if possible. The best way to give children a clear image of the kind of play desired is to show them an example. In addition, rather than simply explaining points, be sure to ask questions along the way. Getting children to actively participate will raise their motivation in the lesson. When speaking, focus on the most basic points and strive to keep things as simple as possible. Sometimes using onomatopoeic or imitative words—such as saying “flip your body around” or “tap tap your head with the back of your hand”— makes things easier to understand. Layout of the fieldThe layout of the field has a major influence on ball selection. Use a soft ball made of urethane or similar material that is easy to handle even with bare hands and does not require gloves. An 11- or 12-inch ball is a good size. The bat can be made of any material, even plastic. Other information on equipment is presented in the Q&A section (page 32). Also, taking into account the field’s environment (such as its size and fence height), explore different ways of using the field by considering the lesson’s content. Determine the places, distances, and directions of hitting and throwing by bearing in mind that balls could leave the field if it has low nets or fences.Lesson Structure
