12) Ping-Pong Baseball

Supplies:
* Ping-pong paddle
* Ping-pong ball (have a few, in case any get lost)

Set-up:
Set up a small version of a baseball field, with 4 bases forming a square

How to Play:
Play similar to baseball. Have two teams. One team waits to hit the ball, the other team spreads out among the bases, preparing to catch the ball and tag someone out. Have a pitcher from the same team as the hitter, toss the ping-pong ball to the hitter. The hitter gets 3 tries to hit the ball. If the hitter hits the ball, he/she then runs around the bases, stopping at a base when continuing to run would risk getting tagged. Those in the field try to catch the ball, and then must run to tag the hitter with the ball, or throw the ball to another player who can then tag the hitter in order to get the person out. It may be easier to run with the ball, than to throw it and expect someone else to catch it in time. When a hitter is tagged, he/she is out, and goes back with the group. When a hitter makes it around the bases, back to home, the team gets a point.
