TOGETHER, WE ARE KENT INTRODUCTION

Welcome to our Kent Cricket Activity Pack! On Tuesday 6th December 1870, at the Bull Inn Hotel, Rochester, it was decided that Beverley Cricket Club and Kent Cricket Club were to merge and form one ‘Kent County Cricket Club’. Nearly 150 Years later, Kent Cricket is celebrating its 150th Year in 2020 with a special new emblem and playing kit. Over the summer, as we see our Kent Cricketers return to representing us on the pitch we hope that you will be able to pick up a bat and ball either in your garden, on the beach or at your own club. But don’t let the fun stop there! We hope that you enjoy working through our Activity Book this summer and we look forward to seeing some of your work. You will find a number of different activities inside. Some of them you can do on your own and some you might need the help of an adult, the internet or a calculator! If you do use the internet, make sure that you have the permission of your parent or guardian before you start. When we visit schools, we talk about The Spirit of Cricket and show them this brilliant video (which you can watch by scanning the QR code with an app on a phone) which includes some of the best cricket highlights from 2020 as well as sharing words that are really important to remember when we play cricket. Here is an example of how the word Respect is important to cricket… The responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, umpires, scorers and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents. Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket. Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the umpires. These are valuable lessons for how we should behave at home as well, learning to respect parents, siblings and pets too.

Remember to Stay Safe and ask an adult to share photos of your completed activities with us on Twitter. @kentcricketdev
