    Kiss chase

    Bulldog. Can't beat it, ever!

    Also "Escape over the fence" "War" and "Hide inside the school building". They are all quite self explanatory.

    A few others I probably shouldn't divulge. ;)

    Tig, Hide and seek, manhunt and also lots of variations of tig (tig statues...tig scarecrow...offground tig)

    Can't ya? Whats wrong with Bulldog? Its the ONLY game, even when they banned it at our school we carried on! :D

    Erm... who can piss the highest in the toilets? :p (You'd know about that)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    None at all. When I was in the playground, I would be doing one of two things. Either I'd be walking around the school fields by myself in tears, or I was being bullied. I'm glad I'll never have to face those days again.

    Tig, offground tig, "tig and you're it" (I hated that one, there was far too much running for my liking), toilet tig, acky acky, cops and robbers, duck duck goose, mums and babies, marco polo, Are You Ready For a Fight? (The dinner ladies eventually banned this one), erm ... the big ship sailed on the ally ally oh?

    We can't play bulldog but we can play 'variations..' ;)

    3-line-it is good. Everyone gets into threes and links arms so they are in a line of three. One person is "it" but they can stop being "it" by linking arms with someone who is part of a line-of-three. When this happens it becomes a line of 4 and the person at the other end (not the one who just joined) becomes it and has to run to another line. Obviously there is someone trying to catch the person who is "it". If they catch them then they are the the catcher. Hmm... it sounds really complicated but it's simple really I'm just not very good at explaining.

    wink murder - well actually that was brownies but same difference, skipping (god i was such a girl lol)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    That reminds me of a game we used to play. Get 3 or 4 people to stand on a wall and kick a football at them till they all fall off. Bit like takeshis castle.

    those skipit things really hurt if someone got you in the ankle with one.
    i dont know how i know that because i was never allowed one so had to do it with a hula hoop- its just not the same when your 9, ooh the trauma :crying: :p

    i never did french skipping, we used to do double dutch with two ropes and the 1 where you have to get in on the "wrong" side if ya get me.

    My skippit was the coolest because it wasn't one of those big-ass ridid plastic things that make you trip over. I also had a skipping sope with a counter on the handle, if you held it in the wrong hand then it would count backwards.

    You poor little mite. That really made me feel sad reading that :( (I am being genuinue if anyone suspects otherwise)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Wink murder was excellent, Murder in the Dark was fun too (if a bit more involved, bits of paper etc) though people I played with used to get scared and start screaming when the light got turned off. :eek2:

    The coolest game ever :D
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    im not too good at explaining but basically, you get into two lines, link arms, and stand opposite each other. then one line says 'red rover red rover, we want *insert name* over.' so then that person has to run from there line to the other line. if they break through the peoples' arms, they get to go back to their line. if they dont manage to break through, they join the other line. the line with the post people wins :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    For red rover you all link arms in two rows facing each other. One row then sings "red rover, red rover, send <insert name> right over". That person then has to run over into your arms to break them apart, lol
