| Four Corners is a simple game that students of all | | | | need a nerf type ball that will not hurt anyone |
| elementary school ages love to play. This is fun to | | | | when thrown. The first rule is you need to throw |
| play with the lights out if there is a window letting | | | | the ball good. If the throw is good and the |
| a little light into theroom. Give each corner a | | | | catcher doesn’t catch it then the catcher is |
| number one to four. One person is it. They go to | | | | out, but if the throw is bad the thrower is out. |
| the front of the room and face the wall and | | | | The game is called quiet ball because only two |
| count to ten slowly. While they are counting the | | | | people may talk without getting out. If anyone |
| rest of the students quietly go to one of the | | | | talks besides these two students they are |
| corners. When “It” gets to ten they say I | | | | automatically out. You choose a student to be a |
| choose number , and they choose one of the | | | | judge. He or she will determine if the throw is a |
| corners. Anyone that is in that corner is now out | | | | good throw or a bad throw. The person who is |
| and they sit down. Anyone that has not made it | | | | throwing the ball says the name of the person he |
| to a corner is out, also. | | | | is throwing the ball to and then throws the ball. If |
| This continues until only one person is left and | | | | it is a good throw and it is caught no one is out. If |
| they become “It”. When there are eight | | | | it is a good throw and it is not caught the person |
| or less students left in the game then there | | | | who was to catch it is out. If the throw is a bad |
| should not be more than 2 students in any one | | | | throw then the thrower is out. If it is a bad |
| corner and if there are then they are all out. | | | | throw, but it is caught no one is out. |
| When there are only four students or less left | | | | They should not throw the ball to anyone that is |
| then there should not be more than one student | | | | not at least three people away from them until |
| in a corner or they are out. | | | | there are just a few left. The last person standing |
