  1. A Game - Four Corners

    Share Share Post
    When my brothers and I would be tired hurlying we would play that common game called four Corners. This is how it is played -
    Four stand on each of four Corners and one in the middle.
    The four on the corners would run from corner to corner and the one in the middle would try and take up a position in one of the corners and if he got into the corner before the one that would be running for it the one that would be running for the corner would be in the middle and so on
