Default Re: kids games of the 70's and 80's

Used to play blue murder.
2 teams, one were the hunted, other was the hunters...
Hunted team chooses a word that had the same amount of letters as members of the team.
Each player gets a letter, aim of the game was for the hunters to guess the word.
Hunted team gets 2 minutes to hide/get away from the hunters, then the hunt started.
You had to force the letter out of the players to guess the word...
Got quite violent and messy, its a darker versions of 'Hares and Hounds'

Played kerby and British Bulldogs also...

Problem nowadays is the red tape brigade, the police (had footballs confiscated for playing kerby) and moaning old barstewards who dont like to see kids on the street after 6pm...
