Four corner game

                                


Objective:

The aim of the Four Corners game is for students to choose one of four corners in the classroom to stand in, while one student, the “chooser,” tries to eliminate them by guessing which corner they are in.

Materials Needed:

  • A classroom with four distinct corners.
  • A blindfold or a way to cover the chooser's eyes (optional).

Setup:

  1. Number the Corners: Label each corner of the room with a number (1, 2, 3, and 4) or a color/shape.
  2. Choose a Chooser: Select one student to be the chooser. They will stand in the middle of the room with their eyes closed or blindfolded.

Rules:

  1. Movement: The chooser closes their eyes or is blindfolded. The rest of the students quietly and quickly move to one of the four corners.
  2. Choosing: After a few seconds, the chooser, with their eyes still closed, calls out a corner number (or color/shape).
  3. Elimination: All students in the called corner are out of the game and must sit down.
  4. Repeat: The remaining students move to a different corner, and the chooser calls out another corner. This continues until only one student is left standing.
  5. Winner: The last student remaining becomes the chooser for the next round.

Tips for Playing:

  • Noise Control: Ensure students move quietly to avoid giving away their chosen corner.
  • Variety: Encourage students to choose different corners each round to keep the game unpredictable.
  • Time Limit: Set a short time limit (e.g., 10 seconds) for students to choose and move to a corner to keep the game fast paced.

Benefits:

  • Decision-Making: Students practice making quick decisions.
  • Movement: The game allows for physical activity, helping to release energy.
  • Listening Skills: The chooser develops better listening skills and patience.
