Playground Thread

[The Hooded Claw]

Instead of ruining every other thread, can the usual suspects gather here and have their childish spats?
The rest of us would like to talk about Cardiff City.

Hmm... whether to put it on this page, or on the 'alternative' page. Which to choose?
Guess it's swings and roundabouts, really....

You probably went around the playground on your own chanting "Who wants to play doctors & nurses"?

Funnily enough as well as ‘Who wants a game of cowboys and indians’, we also used to chant ‘Who wants a game of British and Germans’ (this was in the early 60s).........should this be on the Gary Lineker thread?

I remember it well.

We used to link arms and sweep across the playground, all the time chanting... "Who wants a game of cowboys & indians" (British & Germans too!).
We'd be up to 60-strong at one point, however, we never did get to actually play the game, as the bell would ring to signal the end of the break!

Love a slide me.

You mention ‘break’, obviously it is a break but we always referred to it as ‘playtime’.

Well, yeah - forgive me for not thinking as a primary school kid anymore

You'd have people in the middle hanging between those either side like a hooker between 2 props.
It would collapse if too many did it.

Also, the person at the end would get swung round at a rate of knots when the like got to wall.

Deathtraps those playgrounds.

[MacAdder]

Through the mill (I think it was called).
Your birthday, everyone lined up along the wall leaning on it with one arm and you had to walk/run through "the mill" trying not to get the shit kicked out of you too much!

Chariots.

Poison.

What about ‘Strong Horses’ ? One lad stood up against the wall with an increasing number locked in bent over making ‘a back’ after vaulting onto the backs. Wouldn’t get up for a fortnight playing that now

We used to call that "British Bulldog". I don't know why.

[The Bloop]

Game of Stuck in the mud anyone?

[splott parker]

Loads of games wasn’t there, L O N D O N ....London shouted out by someone facing the wall with the advancing mad crowd having to stop as soon as he finished shouting on turning around.

King Ball, forming a circle, legs apart, the ball bounced and whoever’s legs it went through was ‘on it’. He had to aim the ball at the ones who’d ‘ran out’, anyone he hit was then on his side. Eventually everyone bar one was ‘on it’, slinging the ball back and fore attempting to hit the last man.

Murder Ball was a more, shall we say, advanced & aggressive form of King Ball.

Relego, could get violent catching those who’d ‘ran out’ when grabbing them around the neck and banging their head shouting 1 2 3 Relego.

The girls, and some of the more delicate boys, would be on the other side of the playground having a ball playing ‘In and out those dusty bluebells’

Different game altogether, that was just crazy charging at people Strong Horses sometimes had a chain of bodies twenty long.
