Materials Required:

• A large open space (e.g., a field, gymnasium, or outdoor area)
• A gigantic 20-foot cricket bat (or a custom-made oversized bat)
• Basketball (or a large, lightweight ball)
• Wickets or stumps (can be improvised or purchased)
• Cones or markers to designate the playing area and boundaries
• Safety equipment (e.g., helmets, gloves) if deemed necessary

Pre-Activity Preparation:

• Divide participants into teams (if not pre-assigned)
• Establish playing rules and scoring system
• Designate a playing area and set up the wickets or stumps
• Assign team roles (e.g., batters, bowlers, fielders)

Activity Introduction:

• Explain the objectives and rules of Jumbo Cricket
• Emphasize the importance of teamwork, communication, and safety
• Demonstrate proper techniques for batting, bowling, and fielding (if necessary)

Game Play:

• Teams take turns batting and bowling/fielding
• Batters use the oversized bat to hit the basketball and score runs by running between the wickets
• Bowlers attempt to hit the wickets or get the batter out through traditional cricket dismissal methods (e.g., caught, bowled, run-out)
• Fielders strategically position themselves to stop the ball and prevent runs
• Rotate batting and bowling/fielding teams after a designated number of overs or runs
