Four Square Stencil Material All of our stencils are made from LLDPE plastic. This material is extremely durable, will relax and lay flat quickly, and is very easy to clean.

Both can be used and cleaned hundreds of times, making this a cost-effective solution for playgrounds.

How to Play Four Square: Four Square is a classic playground game involving four players, each occupying one of four squares. The objective is to eliminate the player in the 'King' position by successfully serving the ball into one of the other squares. Basic Game Rules: Each player serves the ball from their square into one of the other squares. Players must hit the ball before it bounces twice. Players exit the game if they miss the ball or hit it out of bounds. The waiting player enters the game and rotates positions accordingly. Four square can be played with endless variations based on the players' skill level and preferences, making it a fun outdoor activity for all ages. Make fun outdoor play spaces for kids!
