ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kickball

Okay kiddo, imagine playing baseball but instead of using a bat to hit the ball, you use your feet! That's called kickball. You have two teams, and they take turns playing. One team starts with the ball, they roll it towards the other team who then tries to kick the ball as far as they can. Once they kick the ball, they run around four bases, like in baseball, and try to get back to the starting point without getting tagged by the other team.

The other team tries to catch the ball and tag the player with it before they get to the bases. If they do, that player is out! If the player makes it around all the bases without getting tagged, they score a point for their team.

Just like in baseball, the teams take turns playing until a certain number of innings have been played. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Overall, kickball is a fun game that involves running, kicking, and teamwork. It's a great way to get exercise and learn how to play with others.
