Hopscotch. Surprised you haven't mentioned that one Yang. Numbers 1 - 10 in squares. Throw a stone into each square starting at one. Pick stone up as you pass the number it is in on the way back from reaching 10 . Hop and jump accordingly to available stone-less squares. Stupid name and even more stupid confusing instructions here, but it was a good game. Queenie Eye is great. Makes one feel happy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CfLUmVso30Looks like the one in black is having a fit. Who is she, can't think? Looks a bit like Kate Bush.

Used to play one where all the kids would line up and the 'leader' would shout out a letter. If that letter was in your name, you could move forward by however many spaces. First to the post won.Sounds very dull, in hindsight.
Jumping off the shed onto a mattress.... hmmmm..a broken tooth stopped that fad.

The first to the post game reminds me a bit of 'Statues'. Wasn't that the game were you had to slowly creep up behind the person in charge but "freeze" whenever the leader looked around? If you got caught moving, even a little bit, you were out.
(I could be getting it confused with Sly Fox though).

Was Knock around Ginger a kid's game, missy? I do hope Ginger wasn't a cat?! (...or some poor defenceless, redhead in your class, come to think of it!)

What about the good old Top and Whip ?
The whips were made of leather and if you got in the way, too bad, but can't remember that happening.
No problem with health and safety then.

Didn't he shout "It's dinner time!!!!" or something, and then chase everyone half 'round the block?! Yes, kids shouted, what's the time Mr Wolf. Mr. WOlf replied with it's one o'clock , then they repeated 'what's the time Mr Wolf'. Reply two o'clock etc. until he unexpectedly shouted dinner time, and chased after the kids with intentions to catch one. The one he caught was the next Mr. Wolf. Kids screaming and running all over the show.
