No kidding. I loved freeze tag and dodgeball.

We had a game called kill the man with the ball. It basically consisted of everyone running and tackling the unlucky person who caught the ball. I'm sure that one's banned too now.

And the Government wonders why childhood obesity rates are skyrocketing.....

I think this is a result of the 'compensation culture.' It's not accepted that people get hurt and injure themselves in life anymore. It's ruining children's development.

No arguments here, Mongoose. Very well put.

Then we'd do it again. Can't think what it was called but it was great fun.



Nowadays I suppose we would be investigated by the school's insurance loss adjusters.


It wasn't "Buck-buck" was it? Ours wasn't up against a wall, it was

usually the first guy in the team had his arms around a tree or light pole

or something, then five or so guys in a row with their arms around the

guy's waist in front... and then the other team would come and jump on

them.

They will take away jump ropes next..............................
