When I'm teaching Sunday school or an after school program, it is sometimes necessary to let the children exercise. 4 Corners is a favorite game the children like to play. I originally was taught the game when I was in Sunday School and learning about the disciples. We would play the game to learn the names of the first four disciples of Jesus.
How to play:
Write the names Peter, Andrew, James and John on pieces of paper. Tape one name to each of the four corners of the room. Invite someone to stand int he center of the room. That person closes his or her eyes and counts slowly to ten. The other students go to one of the corners of the room. The person in the center, with eyes still closed, calls out on of the four disciples' names. All the students in that corner must sit down. The game continues until one person is left standing. That person moves to the center and the game begins again. If no one is left standing, select a new person to stand in the center of the room.
This is a great game for church activities! Try it at an indoor church picnic or party. You can even use it with the neighborhood kids in the summer. What better way to spread the news!
