Take Me Out to
the Ball Game
(Traditional Tune - "Happy Everything" CD)
Take me out to the
ball game. (Hand
in fist as if cheering.)
Take me out to the
crowd.
Buy me some
peanuts (Hold
up one palm and then other.)
and Cracker Jacks.
I don’t care if we
never get back, (Shake head “no.”)
For I’ll root,
root, root for the home team. (Cheer
with hand in the air.)
If they don’t win
it’s a shame. (Open
up palms and shake head.)
For it’s one, two,
three strikes (Hold
up fingers as you count and
You’re out! then
stick up thumb like “out.”)
At the old ball
game.
Sports Day – Invite children to wear T-shirts of their
favorite team to school one Friday.
Those who play baseball, soccer, or another sport could wear their
uniforms. Children could also
bring balls and sports equipment for a special play time.
Hint! Make visors of your favorite baseball team from paper plates.

Sports Stars –You can use sports magazines or the sports
section from a newspaper for this project. Each child cuts out an athlete they would like to be. Have them cut out the athlete’s face
and glue a small picture of their face in its place. Children can write a story about what they would do if they
were a famous athlete.
Skill Baseball - Take four squares of paper and write "Home," "First," "Second," and "Third" on them. Arrange them on a diamond shape on the floor. Divide the class into two teams. One child at a time comes up to home plate as the teacher pitches (holds up) a flash card. If the child can identify the information she moves on to first. If she doesn't know the answer that's an "out" for her team.
*You might want to have a 5 run limit per inning or the game could go on and on.
