1970's song with red rubber bouncing ball

It had almost the same rules, but several sticks were used instead of one flag. We also played a similar game called Steal the Sticks. It is sometimes played that all the people in jail could hold hands and make a chain back toward their own territory, making it easier for members of their team to tag them. They can be sprung from jail by a member of their own team running into your territory, tagging them and running back, with one freed person allowed per jail break. You can tag 'enemy' players in your territory, sending them to your jail. The object of the game is to run into the other team's territory, capture their flag and make it safely back to your own territory. Split the group into two teams, each team having a flag or other marker at the team's base. This game is most fun when played with a large group. Number of Players: Ideally at least three.

The game is over once all the non-'it' players are in the holding pen.

If one of the un-captured players manages to kick the can, the captured players are released. If a person is tagged by 'it', they go into a holding pen for captured players. The other people run off and hide while the 'it' covers his or her eyes and counts to a certain number. One person or a team of people are designated as 'it' and a can is placed in the middle of the playing area. This game is a variation of tag and hide & seek. The general idea is that one person is 'it,' that person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking and then he or she tries to find the others. Sometimes there is a home base that you can run to and tag, becoming 'safe,' sometimes you just wait to be found. Sometimes you count to twenty, sometimes ten, sometimes one hundred. I've heard of all kinds of variations on this game. Most parents have played with their kids, since hiding and finding is a common interest of small children. Use your imagination! Hide and SeekĮveryone has played this one. Also, most of these games can be changed or improved by making up your own rules.

But most of them are best when done outside with a group of people. Some can be done by yourself or with just one friend. Listed below are some no-tech games that you may have enjoyed as a kid. We kept ourselves quite occupied without any of today's modern technologies. We also made the most of recess at school. When I was a kid, we played outside with the other kids in the neighborhood with most of our free time.
