Boy, some of those bring back fond memories! Loved hopscotch, 4-square, tag, dodgeball. I think we actually have dodgeball "leagues" in my area now---not sure. I aced out a 12 yr. old last year at a company picnic in a hula hoop contest. Chalk up one for the baby-boomers!happy
Oh, and tether-ball. Do they still play that anymore?

I guess we used to play cowboys and indians when I was little, me decked out in my Annie Oakley outfit. The neighborhood bully shot me in the forehead with a bb gun (guess he didn't like the Annie Oakley outfit as much as me). "It's always fun until somebody gets hurt"

Our three favorites were tag, hide and seek and bears out tonight...

We would generally play hide and seek in our spooky basement, and later, we invented a new twist in which we turned out the lights and hid in plain sight, but sometimes really hard to reach places (there was a large tub propped against a wall, and I would climb on top of that, and from there could touch the ceiling) while the seeker groped around in the dark using only a low powered flashlight.:smile:

One time, I hid inside the washing machine, while my friends hid elsewhere, and the seeker found all of them rapidly...but could not find me. After 45 minutes they gave up and started calling for me, but I stayed hidden for another 15 minutes before revealing myself. Of course I silently snuck out and was just there, and never told anyone about my hiding spot...the next time we played I hid in the same place, and everyone spent another hour looking for me (by now they were so pissed at me that everyone became seekerslaugh ). The washing machine never occurred to anyone because at 12 years of age, I was the oldest of my social group, yet I was the only one small enough to fit in there.laugh laugh laugh laugh
