We also review the cues for successfully hitting a ball off a tee into the air. Equal numbers of students are positioned at the batting tees. We have the students who are waiting to bat do the measuring and the retrieving of the balls. Record each students longest hit and add up the length. This is the group home run feet that they hit.
Students can then figure out how far their group and class hit that day.
You can then compare this total to the next time you do this activity and try to beat it.
