Hi, victoria again. Did any of you play roller derby in the street? We used to draw a circle with chalk in the street – then race around the “track” with our skates. We would push each other out of the way and follow our interpretation of the rules we saw on TV. Due to a number of skinned knees and chipped teeth, our mothers put an end to this game.

OK, I’m so glad that I’ve…

OK, I’m so glad that I’ve found this site. I have been looking for years to find the rules to games that I played when I was growing up in the 50’s in Chicago. I used to play the ball games that have been described in the messages from others. Please if anyone remembers the rules to “Roly-Poly”? We would draw a very large rectangle and divide it up by drawing a line down the middle and lines across to make up boxes. We would write something like Boys, Girls, Colors, Fruits, Movie Stars, etc. in the boxes. We would bounce a ball in each square while moving around to the last square. Somehow we would be able to kind of “own” a square and no one else could step on it. Anyone recall the rules to the game?

Hi everyone. I would like…

Hi everyone. I would like to begin a Jacks website with video to keep this wonderful game alive. I have been teaching my children. I have to admit that I have limited knowledge about the “specials” – I remember we did the flip (as talked about above) to see who would go first. Whoever caught the most went first – if you all caught them all then it was elimination going around until everyone dropped but one person. We would play up to ten and back down to one in the normal fashion. Then we would play one where we scooped the jack with one hand into the cupped hand on the floor and then caught the ball (don’t recall what this was called!). We would play one where we would put the jack in our palm up other hand before we could catch the ball (don’t recall this name either). Anyhow, all info would be appreciated at whit_larson [at] yahoo [dot] com and I’ll give credit on the site when I set it up. It will be http://www.whitlarson.com/jacks – THANKS!!!!

Victoria, boy does that bring back memories. I taught this to my grandson when he was younger and he loved it along with hit the stick (bouncing a spaldeen between two cement boxes in front of my house)as Therese says she did with her grandson. This goes to prove that kids of all generations enjoy the simple games that kids have been playing for years. Isn’t this a great website?
