Materials
You need 4 or more people to play Four Square. Get a bouncy ball that is at least 8 inches diameter.
You also need a 4 Square court. The 4 Square court has 4 squares that are all the same size .
Each square should be 103 inches flat on one side. The perimeter is 412 inches for a small square. The perimeter should be 824 inches for the whole court. If you don't have a court in your playground make one with chalk or tape (lots of tape) or paint.

Setting Up The Game
There are 4 squares . One is A. One is B and one is C. The last one is D. One person stands in each square , A is first, B is second , C is third, and the last one is D.
If you only have 3 people it's called 3 square or if you only have 2 people it's called 2 square. If there are more than 4 people you make a line starting on the middle of D and C .
If you only have 3 people it's called 3 square or if you only have 2 people it's called 2 square. If there are more than 4 people you make a line starting on the middle of D and C .
How to Play
Before you start playing you have to decide who is at A,B, C and then D. the server is the person in A. You have to pass the ball to him or her so he or she can serve the ball. When the server gets the ball they pass it to someone. To pass it they have to bounce it in someone else's square. If it bounces in your square you hit it into someone else's square.
If it bounces in your square and then it goes out of the square then you are out.
If it bounces in your square 2 or more times then you are out. If you pass it and it doesn't bounce in any square then you are out.
If it bounces on the line it is a redo.
When you get out you go to the back of the line and somebody from the front of the line moves into D and the other people move over.
The server gets to decide the rules of the game. Here are some of the rules you can have:
1. Popcorn - If it bounces in your square you can hit it up in your hands a lot of times before you pass it to someone else.
2. Blackjack - If someone hits it up in the air to a player then he or she can catch it and say "blackjack." Then you switch places with each other.
