Gap Bucket Relay Showdown
The coach drops a ball in a bucket in the gap and live runners take off, so the defense has to run a real relay while the runners decide how far to push it.

Set up
Put one bucket in the left-center gap and one in the right-center gap, near the fence. Split into two teams. The fielding team covers every position it can, catcher in gear. The running team, in helmets, makes two lines: one halfway between first and second, one halfway between home and first. With only 8 kids, use one runner line and skip the pitcher.
