Idea details:

This game is similar to kickball. The only difference is that before the pitcher pitches the ball, he or she asks a math question. If the kicker answers that question correct, the kicker can kick the ball and run. If the kicker answers the question incorrectly, they move to the back of the line. Also, when the runner is almost at home base, they need multiply the answer to the question they answered previously by 2. That is how many steps they need to step from third base to home. The math can be anything, whatever the teacher is currently teaching.
