"Knock door run.....kiss chase.......tracking.  "
We used to call it cherry knocking for some reason.
Didn't have slag heaps so had to make do with sledging down the side of an old quarry, in cardboard boxes.
Does scrumping count as a game? Sounds better than stealing fruit from other peoples trees. |

We played a game called "battery man" in which the person who put the "battery" into the "battery man" chose his mode. Be it Freddy (he'd cut you and you were out), or wrestler (he'd get you in a submission move)
Then there was "The car game"
You had a "base" which was usually a garden. You had to walk down the road until a car came either way. Once that happened, you had to get back to base or a neighbours garden (this caused problems)

"Making 'perfume' from rose petals in water.
It smelled like shit.  "
Yup, did that lots in summer.
My favourite playground game was Bulldog, broke my wrist playing that in junior school. After school I loved kerby and tracker. Anything that involved me running. I quite liked kiss chase too, but I never ran very fast when playing that!!  |

Crossing the Golden water
What's the time Mr Wolf
Dropping the hankey
Rounders
Skipping
Used to play these as a whole school in the yard at lunch time. Teachers would keep an eye now and again while drinking their tea, then bang on the window when things got too rowdy |

Was always playing football games either in the street or down the park. If there were enough of us for a match, then use our jumpers for goalposts. Would also play knockout (1 goal and every man for himself, last one to score is eliminated from next round) or 60 seconds, where the goalkeeper would count to 60 and you had to score past him with a header or a volley, score and he drops back to zero, or if he counts to 60 last one to touch the ball has to go in goal, lol). |

"
Rope swings in woods, preferably over dammed streams, were good. Often cut down by miserable bastards though. ours swung over the beck from the top of a hill"
We had a swing where you could swing into 3 or 4 other trees.
Fell out of a tree after deciding to slide down the newly placed rope and discovering that my knot tying ability wasn't as good as I thought it was. 
Fractured my wrist, six weeks later I went and had it casted. |

In school i used to spend a lot of time getting in to trouble and spending it against the wall.
That was a fun game for me to see how far i can run to the other end before i get caught.
..also used to play Kabbaddi or something. Then there was Stuck in the Mud and then there was the challenge to see can climb the fence the highest.

"Catching newts! Summers where so hot and long back then. Or is it my imagination? Picking at the tar as it bubbled in the road, leap frog."
Tadpoles, it's mad how you forget all the things you used to do as a child. |

We kept mice in the nonfunctional speaker above the blackboard in our form room. Used to let them out in the maths lesson with a female teacher.
Also used to try on an almost weekly basis to release the locusts from their cage in biology. |

2 man hunt was ace, it was sort of like a violent hide and seek, you start with picking two if you at random( I say that loosely as it was usually fixed lol) and the rest got a minutes start and the men had to hunt the others, when you were caught you were punched on the arm 3 times and the hunter would " two man hunt" and they'd have to join the hunters until there were more hunters than runners, I was pretty fast so usually one of the last to be caught so ended up with a black an blue arm and laughing my ass off lol, walk the plank or join the crew was similar but played on a designated field, usually someone's back garden lol, fuck where did the time go? Xxx |

Got banned from chemistry for setting them on fire, how were we supposed to know they never had any flashback arresters on them.
Note. At that point in time I didn't have a clue what a flashback arrester was

They automatically close if the flame travels up the pipe, you usually get them on oxy acetylene welding cylinders. Stops explosions... |

We used to run all the chemistry teachers chalk under the water taps, then sit at the back and watch as he failed miserably to write on the blackboard as his chalk crumbled onto the floor...

"Can anyone remember what those small bouncy balls with the plastic disk around the middle you put between your feet and bounced on were called? 80s lol. X"
Don't remember the name of those things but i do remember pogo sticks. They were a great way to pass the time if you liked falling over and grazing your arms and knees up. |
