  2. Four Corners

    Share Share Post
    We play the game four corners in this way. First five girls stand in the centre of the porch. One of the girls count one, two, three, aloud and the five children start running to the four corners. The child who is left without a corner is called the Fool. That child has to stand in the centre of the floor. The other four children exchange corners and while one of the girls is running the Fool should try to get to the corner before her. If she succeeds in doing so the child who is left without a corner is the Fool. And so on.
