Advanced Four Square Game

This ain't your father's four square.

What You Need

Instructions

Draw a 6- to 10-foot square on a paved surface, such as a driveway.
Divide the larger square into four smaller squares, number the squares 1 to 4, and have each child stand in a block.
The player in square 4 serves the ball by bouncing it in his square and tapping the ball into another square.
The player in that space must tap the ball (after one bounce) into another kid's area, and so on, until someone misses the ball, lets the ball bounce twice, or sends it out of the grid.
The player who misses the ball steps out and the remaining players rotate up through the numbered squares. If you are playing with more than four players, a new player enters the game at square 1. The player who is out waits in line to re-enter the game once square 1 is open again.
Whoever is now in square 4 serves the ball to resume play.

Variations:: Bus Stop: All must step on the outer corner of their squares.
Fire Alarm: All must jump out of their squares.
Mailbox: All must step in the middle where the two lines meet.
Big Tomato: All must do a mailbox and then a fire alarm.
Around the World Colors: When players bounce the ball, they must also call out a color, or state, animal, pizza topping, whatever the category may be (no repeating).
Normal: Play goes back to, you guessed it, normal.
