| Title | Teaching Vocabulary, Part 2 |
| Body | Vocabulary Baseball is a recommended review game from a Latinteach listserv user. Here’s a description: Divide your class into 2 teams. You can do this by splitting the room down the middle or by having team captains choose the teams. Designate where the bases are around the room since the runners actually stand at the bases. You are the pitcher. Give the batter the English word. When my class played, the batter had to give the Nom, Gen. and gender of nouns, the principal parts of verbs, etc. If the batter gives the correct answer, he goes to 1st base. If there are runners on the other bases, they move to the next base. If the batter is wrong, it is an out After 3 outs, the side is retired and the other team is up. At the end of the game the team with the most runs wins as long as the losing team got up to bat that inning and made 3 outs. This is important in case the game is ended mid-inning because class is over. Base stealing: A person on base can may try to steal if the batter answered incorrectly and it was not the 3rd out. The baserunner trying to steal answers the question given to the batter. If he is incorrect, it is an out. If the base stealer answers, correctly, he advances to the next base. When the batter gets a hit, everyone on base moves one base. If a baserunner "steals", only those runners who must move for him to get to the next base move. So, if the base stealer is on 3rd, he goes home and makes a run but if there are others on base, they don't move. If there is no runner on 2nd and the runner on 1st steals, he is the only one to advance a base. However, if the runner on 1st steals and there is a runner on 2nd, the stealer moves to second and the runner on second moves to 3rd, etc. I also used the 10 run rule. If a team scores 10 runs in one inning, the side is retired and the other team is up. This insures that everyone in the class gets up to bat. Peterson, R. [Latinteach] Vocabulary baseball rules.
