How it started

As a substitute rebbi, I asked around for a simple game I could play in any classroom with minimal prep. One game kept coming up, and I kept going back to it: Chumash Baseball.

I drew a baseball diamond on the whiteboard and wrote down the teams. When a student got an answer right, I spun a spinner on the smartboard that showed what the question was worth — a single, a double, a home run — and I'd write and erase the players around the bases. The boys loved it and asked for it every time I subbed.

The problem: it was hard to set up and run. So I made it digital — and then added more sports as students asked for them.

How to play

  1. Pick your teams — type them in, or load a class you saved in My classes.
  2. Ask a Chumash question out loud — from your own review sheet, the pasuk, or Rashi.
  3. Right answer: spin. The wheel says single, double, triple or home run (and now and then a pop out), and the runners move around the bases by themselves.
  4. Wrong answer: an out — or Bobbled!, and another student in the room gets a chance at the same question. The game keeps the score, the innings and the outs, and you can fix anything with Undo.
