• Pick on person from the class to be the caller. They have to be blindfolded, or close their eyes.
• Name the four corners of the hall / playground (the names can be anything, e.g. flowers, food...)
• The rest of the class have 30 seconds to run to one of those corners.
• The caller then shouts the name of one of the corners.
• Whoever is in this corner is out.
• Continue in this way until there is only one child left.

Little Owl suggested the following variation:

I'm a Brownie Leader and our group play something similar but instead of blindfolding a person we use a dice. The corners are numbered 1 to 4 and the children all run around the hall, on a blast of a whistle they get into any corner. Leader rolls the dice. If a 2 is rolled then anyone in that corner is out. If a 5 or 6 is rolled everyone is safe and the game continues until there is one person left in. If the children need to let off a bit more steam if a 5 or 6 is rolled anyone that has been previously out can come back into the game and then the leader/adult decides when to end the game.

Sobz also suggested that:

Get the class doing activites like hopping, crawling, lunges etc to the corners for a great warm up. Or if doing themes, pretend to be an animal etc.

Another visitor has tried the game and says:

We played this game in my class, only instead of being out, the children in the corner had to do an activity (10 jumping jacks, 10 sit ups, 10 wall push ups).
