   ROUNDERS
   To playm rounders you must have two teams, two four or six on each side. You must have a den and a bit away from it a stone and a bit away from it another and so on until you have five stones all around the yard where you are playing.
   Then one side is in, and someone from the other side hits the ball to you, and you hit is as far as you can and run to each stone. But if you are hit between the stones you are out. If someone makes a whole round you are in.
   If one from the other side catches the ball without letting it hop on the ground, the side that was out is in, because it was a caught ball. We call is a batch.
