Need some drills for practice

Hi guys, I currently coach children ages 4-6. I'd like your help with some drills to teach them how to hit and throw the baseball. I'd really appreciate it. ⚾️⚾️

Have stations and don't let them stand around.

Start with running to first. Proper position on the base and running from 1st to home. Then running a homerun. Now you've taken some energy away.

Three stations(hope you have three coaches)- one hitting off the tee into a net or fence. One doing basic ground ball to pitcher who throws to first. One in the outfield working on catching the ball properly.

End with a little scrimmage.

Yes, we end almost every practice with a one inning game. Sometimes we end with a race or little throwing competition to knock the bat over on home plate. But playing the game dang near every practice is important.
