Remember when you was back in school, I mean primary school when you were innocent. You used to play games like tig and kingy.
How did you decide who was ‘it’?
We used ‘feet in the middle’ then it was some sort of ‘ip did do….’ Rhyme to single people out… and you’d touch a shoe for each word you said going around the circle.
Did you do the same?
Can you remember any of the rhymes?
I’ll start
There was a monkey
Running ‘cross the country
fell down a deep hole
Cut his little a***hole
What colour was his blood?
When you had all shouted out a colour you’d spell one out and the person whose foot you ended one was either ‘it’ or you’d go the other way and they would be safe (it all depended on if that first person was either yourself or your bezzie mate)
Eny meanie miny moe
Catch a tiger (word replaced for political correctness) by the toe
If he squeals, let him go.
Eny meanie miny moe.
Or if time was short
Ip-dip-dog-****-you-are-it.
:D :D :D

Used to have piggy back fights where the object was to get the 'rider' off the back of his 'steed' bloody hurt on a tarmac playground

Are you referring to the AR by any chance. I think that is a GREAT idea.
We HAVE to wait until it's nearly dark and we are all truley hammered first though. We need a sober person with a video camera though
Wrestlemania was another that was band - due to piledrivers and coathangers those sorts of things...
I use to have big buck teeth - thanks to Bull Rush the ends were broken off and the dentist filed them flat. That was my foray into cosmetic surgery :P

I think this sounds fantastic, might have to wear helmets tho, as most of us are a little older than when we were at school

Being a devious and precocious child, I worked out the number of positions in the circle each rhyme would rotate and then choose/advise to whoever was doing the dip, which rhyme to use, to effectively allow me to pick who was "it" each time. :twisted:

When we were in sixth form we devised an incredibly brutal game. It was called "Gauntlet" after the event in the TV show Gladiators which inspired it. We played it outside school, in the grounds of an old chapel nearby, which had a narrow flagstoned path running between two waist-high box hedges. Each round, two players were runners and the other players were blockers. The blockers could only move across the path, not up and down it. To get someone out, a blocker had to put the runner over (or through!) the hedge. If as a blocker you got a runner out, you got to be a runner the next round. The blockers were spaced out down the path, about 10 foot apart and weren't allowed to gang up on runners. The runners had to get to the end of the path, IE past all the blockers and if they did, they won and got to be a runner again. Of course, by this stage they were usually tired, if not injured and no one ever managed to complete a second consecutive run as a runner. The runner's momentum usually carried them past the first and sometimes even second blocker, but gradually they got slowed down and it became a fight to get past each blocker.
It was "all in" punches, kicks, etc. were commonplace. Made rugby look like stamp collecting. :lol:

It didn't seem rude when we were 9

for picksies
ip dip did a shi*
behind an Apple tree
a rat came up and bit his ar5e
1 2 3
jab a finger in the back of each person on their turn last one prodded goes out
for hide and seek and stuff when youve decided who's "on"
turn em round and draw on their back
and say
draw a snake on a dead bans back from his head (slap back of head) down to his crack ( try to give wedgie)
which finger did he draw it with....
then the person has to pick the finger you drew it with, each time they get it wrong it goes up, ie counting in 1's, 5's, 10's 100's
hen somehow you picked a number to count to in a similar way.
it seemed a lot simpler in 1979
