Foursquare
Another game that is commonly played at recess is "Foursquare".
Foursquare is a game for 4+ players, and the court is just four squares, usually with a diagonal line through one of them. So it looks something like this. The king, in square number 4, calls each activity. For example, Bus Stop, Brainfreeze, and Original are just a small sample of the all activities that the king can call. The king has 3 lives, while square 3's bishop has 2 lives. The pawn (square 2) and knight (square 1) both only get one life.
My favorite activity is Pickles. Pickles is where you have to do a dance move, and then toss the ball into someone else's square. If it bounces twice there, the person in that square loses a life. If someone has 0 lives, they are out, and another person goes into pawn to replace them. The people with a ranking below the person who got out move up a rank. The goal is to move up to king and stay there.
All in all, Foursquare is just another of the wide variety of games we play at recess.
