The Games People Play

Interestingly, one of the great pastimes for our students here at Woodstock is Four-Square. This is a game that we can remember playing in our elementary school days, but our students take it very seriously well into middle school. Every once in a while we try to join into the games, but it never works out very well. For one thing, we are an easy target and the other three players tend to gang up on us. In addition, the students tend to make up weird rules as they go and it's hard for us to keep up. Usually, we just watch the action from the sidelines.

When students are not playing Four Square, there are many other activities to keep them busy. One of them is a classic Indian game called kho-kho. We won't try to explain the rules of the game here, but we can teach you the next time we're in the states.

We can assure you that it is as fun as it looks.
