Schoolyard games



What games did you use to play during breaks out in the yard at school? Usually we had a ball and would play soccer. Failing that though, you couldn't beat a game of British Bulldog. Both boys and girls were welcome to join in. For those who are not familiar, the aim was to run from one of end of the yard to the other without getting caught by the person who was 'the bulldog'. A simple game of tig if you like. It got banned for being violent in our school. It wasn't at all but I think the teachers thought it was too populist or something.

In elementary school we played 4 square and chinese jumprope and regular jump rope quite a bit.
There was a game called "kiss or kill" that we played too where boys and girls chased each other and if you knocked someone down you gave them the choice of getting a kiss or getting killed. I don't remember anyone ever doing either. lol

When I was a kid, we played dodgeball and kickball. We also played this one wall handball game that we called A.S.S.. It was a fun game until one day while playing it, I got hit in the eye with the handball blackeye



I stuck to the monkey bars and swings after that shit lol

Ditto on Kick Ball.

Erm...sorry about hijacking your "D"
Freaking Imago thought it was funny, though
Guess you didn't
Hope this makes it up to you
If it doesn't, then I will leave the Org forever
Just kidding
Kind of
Look, no hard feelings?
Maybe it's me that has the problem
Nope
OK, this is getting tiresome
Positively no way I'm going to bold-red the first letter of each sentence (OK, I did it. See how much I love you?)
Quite the opposite - I will do nothing
Reinstatement of my thread needs to be done now! http://prince.org/msg/100/251313
Shucks, I'm running out of ideas
Total Anxiousness cracks me up
Ummmm...are you ready for the "D"?
Verily I say unto you, be ready
William Shakespeare could not have written that line better
X-Files 2 is in the works
You don't know how hard it is to use "X"
Zelaria. 'Nuff said.
Alphabet Street, Alphabet Soup or Alphabet Game?
Boogers are My Beat is the actual name of a Dave Barry book
Crossing the finish line....now!

Sorry, force of habit.
