Baseball is an American game between two teams and is played on a field with a bat and a small white ball. Each team consists of nine players. The teams take turns playing in the field and batting the ball. A baseball game has nine “innings”. That means that every team plays in the field nine times and is “at bat” nine times. The object of the game is to score more “runs” than the other team. Only the team at bat can score runs. The team with the most runs at the end of nine innings wins.
Basketball is played on a court with a large orange ball. There are five players on each team. Each team moves the ball across the court by bouncing or “dribbling” it. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into the basket to score a point. The team with the most points wins.
Football is a field game between two teams, played with an ovalshaped ball. Each team consists of eleven players, who carry, throw, or kick the ball. The quarterback starts by throwing, or passing, the ball to one of the players, called a receiver. The receiver tries to run with it towards the goal. The players of the other team try to prevent him from reaching the goal line. The team with the most points wins.
Soccer is a field game between two teams, played with a white round ball. The goalkeeper is the only one who can touch the ball with his or her hands. The other players are only allowed to kick the ball or bump it with their heads. The object of the game is to kick the ball past the goalkeeper into the goal. The team with the most points or goals wins.
Game | Place | Necessary things | Number of players in each team | The object of the game |
