History Baseball: A Classroom Game to Review a Chapter Before a Test

History baseball is a great way to get kids interested in learning their history facts. This game makes learning fun by combining the game of baseball and reviewing for a test. The game will be a review that students will look forward to before each history (or other subjects) test.

To play, you will need the following items for History baseball:

1. Questions from the chapter
2. 4 corners in a classroom
3. A Chalkboard
4. Chalk

Here are the rules you need to play History baseball:

1. Divide your class in to two teams. They don't have to be perfectly equal.
2. Set up four corners of the classroom as the bases.
3. Draw a score board on the chalk board.
4. Let each team pick a team name and write it on the scoreboard.
5. Create a spot for 5 innings. You probably won't have time to play nine.
6. Have team number 1 line up next to you.
7. Ask the first person on the team a History question. If they get it right send them to first base. If they get it wrong they get their first out.
8. Continue asking questions. When the student gets it right the other students move up a base and that student moves to first base. If the student gets it wrong they get another strike.
9. When a team has 3 strikes their turn is over and the next team should come up to bat (at the questions).
10. Anytime a team has a member cross all 4 bases the team gets a point just like in baseball. The points at the end of each inning should be written on the score board.
11. The team with the most points at the end of the five innings is the winner. Most importantly each student would have had a great review for the upcoming test.
