: : all i get from this is the urge to play red rover, jump over candlesticks or go kiss the girls and make them cry.

: Did anyone else, as kids on the playground, play the game where you have two lines on either side of a large field, and everyone but one person stands on one side of the line. Then the one person tells everyone to go, and tries to tag everyone as they run across? Then anyone who got tagged helped for the next run, and evertually everyone was trying to tag one or two people?
: I don't rememebr what we called it, but we played it for years growing up and I think it would be fun to play again.
: How many people would be up for that next weekend when I am at the von's?
Me! Is it Red Rover?
Just out of curiousity, where did you grow up and how old are you?
More childhood games that kids just (sadly) dont' play anymore:
Red Light Green Light
Spud
Jumprope
Hopscotch
Statue
Whip
Hide n' Go Seek
Some of these might be very localized or even made up by my own group, we were very creative and almost never sat in front of a TV for any reason except an occasional cartoon after school or Saturday Morning.
