12.3 CROCKER

You will need:
* 2 stumps a yard apart for the wicket
* A stump for the bowler 8 yards in front of the wicket
* A stump 7 yards to the left of the wicket to run round
* A large ball such as a football
* A baseball bat or rounders bat

The ball must be bowled under arm from the bowlers stump. The batsman
must run round the running round stump, every time he hits the ball in
front of the wicket. The bowler can bowl as soon as the ball is
returned to him. The batsman is out if the ball passes between the
wicket stumps, it hits his legs twice (leg before wicket) or if he is
caught out, in front of or behind the wicket. To speed the game up,
you could make the whole team out if someone is caught out.

12.4 PANCAKE RACE

You will need:
* A bat, frying pan or tennis racket
* a ball or frisbee

Half of each team stand at one end of the course and half at the other
end. The first player has to run to the other end and give the frying
pan to the first man at the other end who runs back with it. This is
continued until each player has run the number of times the leader
decides. On each run the frisbee or ball must be tossed and caught
twice without dropping it. If the player drops it on the floor they
must go back to where they started from and do their run again. On
pancake day use real pancakes.
