Playground games

[CiderMonkey]

Anyone with kids at school - do they still play games in the playground like we did. Please mother may I, What's the time Mr Wolf, Stuck in the Mud etc.

what games do you remember?

'Tig' (or 'tag' as it's called in some parts) was always a favourite one, and I believe kids still play it today (though for a time local kids here called it 'AIDS' - sick little minds, eh?)

I went to the same primary school as Glossop, and used to love Acky 1-2-3! And "All join up for aaaarmeeee!"

lol Jules001 I suspected it was a ploy to keep us quiet!
Not at school, but did anyone else play "Kerby"? You stood, 1 player at either side of the road and had to throw a football and bounce it of the opposite kerb, you got 1 point if you managed, 5 if you threw it over your legs and 10 if it was between your legs. I was great at it! lol

My sister played cat and mouse at school in games lol, that sounded fun. We played the lurgie, which was a bit like tig only it went on for the whole day and you could immunise youself by someone poking you and saying "injection, injection, never infection" We mostly invented our own games though. We also played a strange game which I can't remember what it was called: You hold your hand over someone's head and your other hand over your mouth and you counted the seconds before they noticed. They had to put their hand over their own mouth, the seconds it took them to do it was the amount of boyfriends (or girlfriends) they had! Very odd.

Does anyone else remember Run Outs or Fumble? They were the best games other than Bulldog.

What the game called, when you had one person (head or leader) in front of the rest of friends/group. The person playing the leader said a letter and the rest step forwarded to the leader if the letter was in their name etc.

for example the leader said 'S' all the people with S in their name would step forward, the leader would keep on saying different letters till the first person reaches them.
