Some people in our class play four square at lunch time and at morning tea. It's a great game to play and it's really fun.
Now I'm going to tell you the rules of the game and how to play.
First whoever gets the ball out from the classroom gets to be in king (the best square). Next, whoever gets outside second gets to be in Queen (the second best square) then the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth squares, and if more people come they wait in line.
The real rules of playing four square is that you only have four squares but we play with a three by three square; the one in the middle is king and sometimes if there are heaps of people we play twelve square in a four by three square.
Whoever is in king starts the serve. They bounce it on the ground first and then pass it to someone else in any of the other squares. When you serve if it lands on a line or out of the other squares it's an unfair serve and then the king is automatically out. The other ways to have an unfair serve is if you hit it too hard or if you hit the ball higher than someone's shoulder you will be out. That occurs in all circumstances, even when players that aren't king do it.
There is also this move that I like; it's called a bus stop. It's when someone else passes it to you but it doesn't touch the ground first; you can hit it it on a volley and down into your own square and pass it it again. You can also get out if it bounces first in your square and then you hit it in your own square. There are also poaches. A poach is when it bounces in someone else's square and then you hit it. You will then be out.
That is how you play four square.
