I attend classes for lung exercises, one of which involves throwing a ball against the wall, I suggested to the more mature ladies in our group, that they should tuck their skirts in their knickers and toss up against the wall, assuming I can satisfy my bail conditions, I should be out early next week.

'Stroke The Bunny' and 'Pussy Four Corners'?! I'm intrigued grin Please tell....

The Alphabet Game

The caller would have their backs to a row of kids and shout out letters of the alphabet. Kids would move forward a space if that letter was in their name, or several spaces if you were lucky.

First person to reach the caller would become the new one.

Does anyone remember doing a 'dip' to decide who'd go first, or who was 'on' in certain games?

The kid doing the dip would point to each participant in turn while chanting the dip rhyme. Whoever the finger pointed to when the last word of the rhyme was reached was the chosen one.

There were quite a few different dip rhymes. The best-known was: 'Dip-dip, my blue ship, sailing on the water, like a cup and saucer, dip-dip, my blue ship.'

pussy four corners was played by each of 4 kids occupying a corner of a drawn out square and one kid in the middle...the object was to swop corners by attracting one kid by whispering a sound pswwwww-pswwwww and hope the kid in the middle didn`t get to the corner first other wise you would have to occupy the centre

That soon degenerated into to trying to bend the hand back quicker that they could say peanuts.

Was 'block 123' a separate game? I seem to remember it was part of the game of hide and seek, when you ran back to 'base' without being caught by the kid who was looking for everyone. Once you'd touched base and shouted 'block 123', you were home and dry and couldn't be touched. But memory may be deceiving me.

Yes, as soon as you were spotted you had to beat the person who was on back to base - or get to base before being spotted.

Its a variant of kick the can and an enhancement to hide and seek. Hide and seek would get pretty boring without the additional parts.

I well remember playing Block 123 on the Breck, with my brother and friends. Can't remember how it was decided where the 'base' actually was, though?

There was one where you drew a circle with chalk or a stone and put some pennies inside. One person was on one side and one on the other.
A tennis ball was thrown at the coins and whoever got them out kept them.
