Swing Ball FHE

The weather has warmed up quite a bit and we can't help but to be outside playing in the fresh air. For FHE this week the kids wanted to play a game they made up on the swings. It's called "Swing Ball" and it is tons of fun! The game is a mix of baseball and kickball. Each player is on a swing and they keep track of their own points and outs. They are pitched a ball and kick it while swinging. Quickly jumping off, they try and score points by the number of bases they touch. Each base is a point, but if you get a home run it is 5 points. Pretty sweet! We played 7 innings and surprisingly they all ended up with 19 points...a three way tie. We had a blast! I love these creative kids!

In this picture, Karley was being pitched the ball. The determination on her face is easy to see as she goes for the kick! Matthew and Kynlee obviously can't wait until it's their turn!:)
These creative bugs also played a game on the tramp. While jumping and counting to three, one of them would say something to be and they would each role play what was said. Here they are being Rock Stars! Some other ideas were: cars, babies, Moms...it was cute!
