What is "four square"?
Four square is a playground game played on a square court divided into four equal sections. Each section is occupied by one player, and the goal is to eliminate other players to reach or remain in the highest-ranked square, often called "king." Players take turns bouncing a rubber ball into another player’s square, and the receiving player must hit the ball into another square without letting it bounce twice or go out of bounds. The game emphasizes quick reflexes and strategy and is commonly played by children in schoolyards or recreational spaces.
