Lessa, this game yogi sounds similar to one we played in the local park. We used a ball of twine or rope, depending what we got out of our tool shed. We would tie it around our ankles only, giving each other plenty of room to move our feet about. We would then slowly shorten the length of twine/rope between our two legs. We would force each other to take two steps forward in opposite directions.The first person to fall over loses. The loser would then have to buy everyone some sweets. TwinPanther13 as I said earlier on, I too fought with swords. It was great fun. What we used to do with the broom handles was sharpen one of the ends, until it pointy like a spear. Then we would go to the park and throw it like a javelin. The winner was obviously the one who threw it the furthest. Assassins Creed
I remember playing tag. I hate tag. Tag. All the other kids were faster then me and would purposely make me it, just because they knew I couldn't keep up. I have never been a good runner. I also remember playing hide and go seek. I hate hide and go seek as well. Hide and go seek. The kids would never find me or they would purposely not find me so that way they could walk off. I was eight and I remember one of my friends, he told the other boys to leave and not look for me. After that he wasn't my friend. I remember playing pick up sticks as well. I hated that game as well. The kids would always throw the sticks at me. The game was rewritten Pick Up Sticks and Throw them at *my real name in Greek* It was literally renamed that. I also remember play tick tack toe. Hate that game. It literally was. I beat the kids and the kids would rip the paper up of tick tack toe and then put on the tally mark that they won the game.
hey thats no fun. how about we go back to your old neighborhood and knock out some of those bullies. I hate bullies.
They are all the way in Greece. How are we going to do that? But if I do go back: Pick up Sticks are my weapons. I throw them at them.
Oh god, how did I forget Red Rover, British Bulldog, and Sardines? My mind is failing me. And at so young, too.
Marbles, What's the Time, Mr Wolf?, Red Rover, Four Square.... Lots of other silly things that never had a name. You know what's really sad? A primary school in Australia recently banned children from performing cartwheels, handstands etc during playtime - they classified the activity as "medium risk level 2"... One girls was actually suspended for cartwheeling. *sigh* And we wonder why childhood obesity is a problem.
Childhood games I used to play were: Ice-cream-io where one person would stand looking at a wall with there eyes closed, and the others would sneak up to them. The person at the wall could turn around and look at any time, and when they did the others had to stop moving otherwise they were out. The first person to touch the wall and shout Ice-cream-io won. Red Rover where you would form two lines of people who all linked hands, one line would sing a song asking for Sarah over, and she would have to run. If she broke through the chain of hands, she returned to her team. If she couldn't, she became the other team. Bull Dog's Charge where two people would be it and everyone else would have to run past them to the other side of the play ground. If they managed to touch you before you reached the other side, you became it too. It would end up with twenty people chasing the fastest boy, lmao. and Good old Tigs
Oh, I remember Marco Polo as well. Hate Marco Polo. When I said Marco no one said anything. I find out later that for the whole hour I was holding my eyes closed the kids were eating and doing other stuff.
