Reaction Games

Corners

Equipment

Four numbered signs or cones, one per corner of the room

How to play

Number the four corners of the gym or playing area from one to four. All players spread out in the middle of the area. When music plays or on a given signal, all players walk or jog to any corner they choose. When the signal stops, the teacher or leader draws a number from one to four. All players in the corresponding corner are eliminated and sit out or do a fun exercise. Players remaining return to the middle and the game repeats. The last player or group remaining wins.

Variations

Use colours instead of numbers on the corner signs. Allow eliminated players to keep playing as a ghost team that cannot be seen.
