Back in the day when it was a quieter neighborhood we tried Knock Down Ginger and I ended up fracturing my arm falling off the top of a gate trying to escape an irate neighbor, I think I learned my lesson that day on.

Other safer and outdated games in the playground going back eons ago, that sometimes happened,. but I don't remember much about those days.

Did actually, score direct from a corner in a football match there once, took a corner, and it went right in, it wasn't even windy I don't think, I was like a dog with two tails the rest of the day.
 

What, for bad behavior, that's a bit harsh isin't it.

Couldn't they have just put you in some stocks and thrown rotten fruit in your direction. :mellow:
 
We had Football, Cricket and Rugby! Trampolining was huge in our school back then and I was quite handy at that!

But we was very big into athletics and commonwealth gold medalist Lisa Dobriskey went to our school and was in the same athletics club as me!
 
Ok, I think I need to clarify to the melt factor. These games I talk of were games we played during Dinner and break time - they weren't part of the school curriculum.
 
We weren't allowed to play football, Rugby League only, we had about 12 rugby pitches and a grass hockey pitch, a cricket pitch with a concrete strip for a wicket. Every year we would enter a Rugby Union comp with strict instructions to " go out there and batter these ponces."

We played basketball, something that I played for the year above at, despite a distinct lack of height, my teacher took me to see Alton Byrdd play to keep up my morale as everyone started to tower over me. The highlight being the winning of a tournament at anfield comp/high ? & knocking Bluecoat out of the L'pool cup at their place, who were considered to be the Harlem Globetrotters of the Northwest.

Someone told me that even though she went to a private girls school, they thought ours was posh cos we had a grass hockey pitch, I informed her that she couldn't have been farther from the truth as ours was the school that kids got sent to when they got expelled from others, 'cos of this the rugby team where fearsome, but used to play the girls at hockey every year.... who used to knock the shoite out of them, the lads used to in turn knock 10 bells out of the staff in an end of year rugby game. We had a welsh teacher who thought he was JPR Williams, he was fast but used to get tw@ted every single year.

Best days of my life.

Oh right, in that case the thread should be called "Playtime Games". Not the incorrectly titled "School Sports", which you will find is a different topic entirely.

Thus meaning this thread is a waste of space and should be deleted from the internets.

Mods, BURN IT.
 
Ahh, infant school playtimes. Rallying troops at morning break ,to play War at lunchtime. British v Germans, all innocent fun. Or watching the girls doing handstands against the wall and seeing their knickers. Going back to 1971/2 here

Junior school playtimes consisted of Football, and nothing else. If you didn't play football you were gay :D

we skimmed cardboard footy cards against the wall, and ate the 'cardboard chewy', if you got the card on the little window sill and up against the glass then you almost deffo won. that, and merps.
 
Footie and athletics really. Played some rugby too but it didn't really get off the ground as we were wool/posh enough.

Ghost well wore a blazer for school. Side part all over the show.
