THE THE PROBLEM
Students need one shared rule set for serves, lines, boundaries and close calls.
Teacher time disappears when the same moment has to be re-explained in real time.

WHY THIS EXISTS
PRACTISE THE
HARD MOMENT.
The hard moment arrives outside and students do not yet share one clear rule or repair language.
THE FIX
Watch the moment, freeze the decision, make the class call it, replay a poor choice, lock the rule, then use the same language outside.
The classroom version handles the structure so the teacher can supervise the room instead of operating another complicated system.
HOW IT RUNS
SAY LESS.
LET THE SYSTEM HELP.
Use the projected scenarios to settle serve order, line rotation, boundary calls and disputed plays before students take the game outside.
01 · WATCH + FREEZE
WATCH + FREEZE
A slow schoolyard moment unfolds and stops exactly where a call is needed.
02 · CALL + REPLAY
CALL + REPLAY
Everyone votes; one random crew decides. A poor call shows its consequence and must be repaired.
03 · LOCK + PLAY
LOCK + PLAY
The correct rule joins the class system and students use the same language outside.

Teach the close call
The Four Square Fix focuses on service, outs and quick re-entry.
Students often know the basic idea of Four Square. The teaching value is agreeing on the moments that normally stop play. Keep service and out rules simple enough that students can restart quickly. If the line spends more time debating than playing, the version is carrying too many rules.
Rehearse the serve, one common out and the re-entry order. Those three moments cause more stoppages than a long list of rare rules, and they are easy to show before students go outside.
Use a replay for a genuinely unclear line call. Four Square stays playable when the next serve happens faster than the argument about the last one.
The transfer goal is a court that can rotate, serve and restart without the teacher standing beside it. Keep only the rules students can actually remember and apply at recess speed.
