    This document provides instructions for running cricket drills and games of increasing complexity to teach students cricket skills. The drills include running between cones in response to calls, competitive relay races, and run-out games. More advanced drills involve students batting and fielding in small groups and trying to score runs by running between wickets/cones. The drills progress from simple movement and response skills to more game-like scenarios involving batting, fielding, throwing, running, and decision-making. Key teaching points emphasize correct form and technique for sliding, throwing, holding the bat, and making appropriate calls or shots.
