The foursquare player location in the highest numbered square begins the game by serving the ball from the outside corner of the square. The ball must bounce once in the servers own square before entering another players square. Players must let the ball bounce once in their own square, and then return the ball in the same method as the server. Balls are similar to kickballs and dodgeballs, being light rubber and with good bounce. The play must only use their hands to hit, serve, or return the ball. Carrying or holding or catching the ball are all penalties and forfeits.

Once the ball touches the play surface in another players square, that player must continue by hitting it into any other square. The ball continues to be hit back and forth between squares until a player makes a forfeit or penalty, and gets eliminated by leaving the square.

The rest of players move up to their next highest squares number, and another (or the recently eliminated) player joins the game in the lowest square (one). If there are more than four players foor a square, the eliminated players just wait in line for their turn to re-enter the game.

Location: In Basketball court, or something similar to it.
There are 2 teams with equal number of players. One of the players from both sides needs to be the TARGET. The target needs to stand on the far side line, he can’t move out of the line but he can move side to side, not stepping out of the free throw line.
The players are to run and try to hit the TARGET with a dodgeball or soft kickball to score 1 point, once 1 point is scored, they need to change their target.
At the start, players go to the middle of the court and do something, like flipping a coin, to choose the starting team. Once started, players need to pass the ball.
You can’t move with the ball in your hand, but you are allowed to make false steps or move one foot, but standing at the same spot. When have the ball, you can’t dribble or dodge around, so you need to pass the ball to someone.

When you have the ball, pass. When you don’t, look for pass.
Now the target rules and fouls:
The players can’t cross the freethrow line when they shoot. The players CAN stand inside the freethrow line, they can go anywhere. But if a player has the ball inside the freethrow line, or someone catches the pass INSIDE the freethrow line, it is a foul. When a player pushes, kicks, etc. are also all fouls.
Referees arent necessary in this game, unless the players wish.
When a player from team 1 commits a foul, then team 2 needs to go to their free throw line, stand in the line and shoot at the target. The target can move side to side, can jump dodge etc.

A certain length of fence is chosen for the game. The one who is It gives the other players a slight start in which to vault over the fence when he immediately vaults over and tries to tag them. This tagging may be done only when both players are on the same side of the fence.

The dodging is made almost or quite entirely by vaulting or dodging back and forth across the fence within the length or boundaries previously determined. Any player tagged must change places with the one who is It.

FOR THE SCHOOLROOM.–This game may be used in the schoolroom by vaulting over the seats. When played in this way it is not allowable to reach across seats or desks to tag a player. The tagging must be done in the same aisle in which the tagger stands.

The player who is It tries to step or jump on to the shadow of some other player and if successful announces the fact by calling the name of the player. That player then becomes It.

The teacher or leader will need to encourage the children to venture boldly into the open spaces where the shadows become apparent rather than to huddle on one side of the ground where the chaser cannot reach the shadows.
