A popular game in Poland, suitable for children’s gardens and elementary schools. Five participants; four stand in the corners of a room (or on a playing field, with stakes, flags, or similar arranged in a square), while the fifth stands in the center, calling: Four corners, and the fifth in the middle! — At this signal, everyone changes places, and the one in the center tries to take one of the spots. Whoever is left without a place goes to the center.
