KITTY IN THE CORNER

KITTY IN THE CORNER IS PLAYED ON THE BOTTOM PART OF
A DRIVEWAY. THERE ARE FIVE PEOPLE, FOUR OF WHICH
STAND IN EACH OF THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE DRIVEWAY.
THE FIFTH PERSON STANDS IN THE MIDDLE AND YELLS,
"KITTY IN THE CORNER." EACH OF THE PEOPLE IN THE
CORNERS HAS TO RUN FOR A NEW CORNER AND THE PERSON IN
THE MIDDLE TRIES TO GET A CORNER WHILE EVERYONE IS
CHANGING. THE PERSON LEFT WITHOUT A CORNER TAKES
HIS PLACE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE GAME CONTINUES.
