One student is The Guesser and sits in the Hot Seat.
The Guesser closes his/her eyes and counts to 10.
The rest of the class moves to one of the 4 cardinal directions - North, East, South, or West.
The Guesser picks: North, East, South, or West.
Everyone who is in that section is "out" & needs to sits down.

Then the game is over and everyone says: Good Game!
