Here's your basic four square game. A short description of how to play the game as well as what constitutes a foul. If one commits a foul, then that player is out and goes to the end of the line. I recommend having more than one four square set up, perhaps several, so that there are only six or seven players at each square. This is to maximize the amount of play time each player gets.
