Sardines was called hide and seek where I came from in Brooklyn(Sunset Park). Same rules, and I think kids still play it today. Some classics never die..
I had a childhood like lisas, join in or get left out and called a sissy or a priss. we played 4 square, SPUD, wolf, hide and go seek, hopscotch, jumprope games, like school, cinderella, chase me, sea shells ect
