Did anyone ever play red letter?
1 person is the chaser
Everyone else gets a letter
Chasers can do anything to get the letter. Once you give up your letter, you’re a chaser. Last letter wins
“Do anything” just meant extreme levels of violence. Letters couldn’t fight back |

As a child I remember a simplified version of this game named simply Hunt the Cunt. It was a simpler time. A happier time...  |

About 3 feet away from the fence |
Mostly football (with a tennis ball)
For a short period of time in the early 1990s, the boys of our year 4 class used play "Turtles" during the height of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze.
This game basically was a form of social hierarchism, where the 4/5 most popular lads got to be the turtles + master splinter, and the remainder were designated the roles of Beebop/Rock steady & 'foot soldiers'.
The actual game itself was just these 2 groups performing kung-fu moves on each other & didn't last much longer once the teachers got wind of it.
For a short time we also played a very strange south London variant of marbles, which for some reason had to be played specifically on a square manhole covering in the playground.
It involved only 2 marbles (yours and the opponent) and you won by knocking the other ball off the cover, but you could only flick the ball along the floor, like flicking a subbuteo player.
The bumped surface of the manhole cover added an extra variable. |

Primary - racing toy cars until we were banned from bringing them in.
Secondary - football matches with 50 players aside. I think there was one entire break where no one realised we didn't have a football.
Big school - no games, but I took a screwdriver there and I'd undo the door handles and things.

The robot and the witch (an obscure make believe role play game my bff and I made up that I no longer remember the rules of), and other self-invented role play games/theatrical storytelling. You bet your ass we were the weird kids. |

"We used to buy 10p worth of tiny little silver fishes from the Asda deli and put them down girls tops. Probably not too popular these days "
Haha. This reminds me my sister and I used to pick those plans that have the itchy seeds and put them down people's tops/pants. Kids are assholes really. Some of us grow up and call it kinky  |

Throw stuff at the posh kids from the Grammar School walking through the playground to the dining hall because thier school didn't have a canteen.
In the winter it was ice balls, we made snowballs morning break then left out to freeze until lunchtime.
