Activities: 

Take Me Out to the Ball Game song

Name the Game

Bring in as many sports balls as you can (football, baseball, soccer, golf, tennis, bowling etc.) and have the kids identify what sport they're used for. (Or print pictures to show)

This is the Way We Play T-Ball 

(Tune: Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush)

This is the way we bat the ball,

Bat the ball, bat the ball.

This is the way we bat the ball

When we play T-ball. (or baseball)

Throw the ball

Run the bases 

Crafts: 

Soccer Ball Bag

Copy the template onto cardstock. BEFORE the craft session, cut the soccer balls out (enough so each child has 2) and punch holes around 3/4 of the outside of the soccer balls so they match evenly. Have children color and decorate their soccer balls. Next, they should lace the sides of their bag together using string. Lastly, help them make a shouder strap using string.
