Oh yeah, don’t forget about…
Oh yeah, don’t forget about Duck, duck, goose. They actually played this with dogs at a dog training class I was in! I think they called it dog dog bone or something, same basic rules, except you have to heel your dog around the circle, and all the other dogs were on sit-stays next to their owners, facing out towards you…
The way we played Red Rover…
The way we played Red Rover when I was in gradeschool (not so very long ago 🙂 was the two teams would be on each side, hands linked. Then someone from one team would shout “Red rover, red rover let ____(name of kid) come over!” Then the kid they named had to run over and try to break the chain (no going under allowed). Usually they know where the weakest link is… If you don’t get through, you have to get in the chain. The game ends when one team has everyone. I think if you DID break through, you would get to go back to the other team? Or maybe you sit out the rest?
I forgot to mention, we…
Did anyone here play two-square…
Did anyone here play two-square or four-square? My friends and I loved it… There were TONS of special moves like Rocket, where you bounce the ball a certain way, and before each game we would pick who’s ‘King’ (if it’s four-square) and then they’d make up the rules- which moves you can and can’t do, etc… My friends and I made up some moves that would get people out for sure, so they were always ‘outlawed’, we could only do them if they didn’t count in the game- like Skyscraper- you shout out SKYSCRAPER! and WHACK the ball at the ground as hard as you could, so it’d bounce up 10 ft. And whiplash or something, where you’d whip the ball out so it’d land right at the far end of the other person’s square.

The way I always played…
The way I always played Chinese jumprope was “In, out, side by side, on, in, out.” In- jump with both legs inside of the ropes. Out- jump out of the ropes. Side by side- Straddle one side of the rope (with one leg on each side of it), then straddle the other side of the rope. On- step on one side of the rope with each foot. out-jump out to one side. If you did it without messing up, then the rope gets higher, and so on. I was ok at double dutch, I didn’t get to play much because most of the kids I knew didn’t play it. I was GREAT at turning the ropes, though, hehe…
