Playground Games

What did you used to play?

British Bulldog was a fave. Violent as anything!

Slaps. A classic.

Kiss, Cuddle or Torture? Boys v Girls. Get caught by an ugly girl choose torture. Get kicked in the nuts because it's better than a kiss or a cuddle.

I'm not certain but I'm not certain these games would still be played today.

What did you play?

Not sure if it ever had a name, but we used to throw a tennis ball at the burglar alarm outside the art block. If you hit it, you were through to the next round.

Haha! Did it make the alarm go off?!

At sunday school the priest would always make us play this game were he would blindfold us and make us suck on a pipe until we sucked the gunk out.

Crap game but the priest used to be excited about it though.

GBs (German Bastards) was always played but I hated it.

One team of 5 or 6 people have a letter each which make up a word, and usually the position their letter is in the word to make it easier. They then spread out and the other team have got to catch them all and beat their letter out of them by punching, kicking, head butting (anything) then try to figure out the word. Obviously the idea was that if you got caught you held out for as long as possible and whichever team got the opposing team's word quickest won.

This was our idea of fun. Well, not mine.


We also played 'raggy' - you kick a ball round and if it hits you above waist height you got beats. Last of the break was always 'mega beats' and was literally someone curled up in a ball with everyone kicking them. I remember getting my blazer caught on the stair rail after getting hit with it on the mega beats round, brutal. Got knocked on the head when a lad broke 2 ribs.


Our breaks were quite violent, really.

ditch 'em...basically a hood version of hide and seek

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

The wools used to play a game that involved grabbing the weakest one, pinning him down, holding his mouth open & then flegging greenies into his mouth

What's that?!?!

One team is The English, the other Ze Germans.

Ze German's have a secret codeword, and each member has a letter of the codeword assigned to them.

The English must hunt them down and piece together the codeword.

As Azz mentioned, it also worked 2 ways.

So basically hide and seek with vicious interrogation.
