PUSS IN THE CORNER GAME:
All that is needed to play this game is four corners (four trees will work) and five players. Four of the players stand, one in each corner. The fifth player or "pussycat" stands in the middle. The pussycat says, "Puss, Puss wants a corner," and all of the players, including the pussycat, hurry to a different corner. Whoever does not make it to a corner before they are all taken becomes the pussycat. You can play this game with more than 5 players; just be sure that there is one more player than there are corners or trees!
