Four Corners

Number the four corners of your room from one to four. The leader stands with their back to the group, eyes closed, music playing, while everyone quietly spreads out into the corners.

Then the leader calls out a number, blind. Everyone standing in that corner is out. The rest spread out again, and the next round begins. The whole game comes down to one thing: outsmarting the caller.

Two rules make this game special: the winner gets to be the caller in the next round. And if the caller hits an empty corner twice in a row, everyone still in the game gets a piece of candy. Suddenly luck turns into tactics.

It works just as well outdoors: mark the four corners of a large square with cones.
