and then going down to the allotments to pinch some carrots..(sorry if was your patch...)

I liked "run outs" when i was playing around my estate and in Primary School "Stuck in the mud" was simply amazing.

Weeing the highest in the school toilets. I gave it up when I was 16.

playing hide and seek in the street (at dusk!) and double dutch skipping with a washing line across the street!
kiss chase and british bulldog

[taliesin238]

Ambush was the best. Especially where I lived because we had a huge array of trees which served their purpose as hiding shelters wonderfully!!

Knock Down Ginger

Oooh.... British bulldog was fab in school, especially when the teachers banned it!!!

I loved my skipping rope though.

Does anyone remember playing that game with a loop of wool/string you put it around your hands and another child took it off you with a new pattern. you kept doing it twisting and knoting the wool!

andrea81 - that's cats cradle. I still play that with my youngest.

[nat_84]

yeah Knock Down Ginger - Naughty but a Classic.

[cazzz1975]

I dont know that one but it reminded me of chinese elastics!! did anyone else used to play that ?

[wendilla]

Tying string from one door handle to the next. Knocking on the doors and running up the alleyway.

Ahhhh memories!

[cazzz1975]

I remember I used to feed jam sandwiches to the wasps and I used to kill ants with my finger...eww grosss, I couldnt do either now

[joggerjayne]

The one where you tied lots of rubber bands on a big loop, and then you jumped in and out of the, and made patterns and things ...


flinches at the memory of regular grazed knees from tripping up whilst playing this
