You can label the corners with colors or words instead. If you’re a teacher, try using something related to today’s lesson. [1] X Research source
The person in the middle will cover their eyes and count down from 10 to 0, loudly and slowly. Everyone else moves to one of the four corners, very quietly. When the person in the middle finishes counting, they choose a number from 1 to 4 (with her eyes still closed). Anyone standing in the corner they chose has to sit down. Anyone who isn’t in a corner when the counting is done has to sit down.
Once there are eight people or fewer, each corner can only hold 2 people maximum. Once there are four people or fewer, each corner can only hold 1 person maximum.
After the first round, you can ask someone who’s out of the game to count instead.
