I also remember this one! Usually the tactic was to duck behind the parked car… and you’d not say the kid’s name until you were about to slam the ball into the ground. of course, you’d not bounce it straight up; you’d put English on it to spin it elsewhere.

Oh my God. I completely forgot this one. But, yeah, used to be completely spontaneous, someone grabbing an object from someone — a ball, cap, glove, whatever — and yell “Salugee!” and start to toss it about. Usually ended when the kid relieved of the item started to cry. From The Bronx

Totally true. I played this growing up in The Bronx. We’d yell “Hot Peas and Butter-Scotch”…. and invariable one kid who spied the belt’s hiding place would lure the other kids close by playing possum and then grab it swinging. No hitting with the buckle, no at the face and no “double-strap” folding it half. But God help the kid who was blocked off from the stoop.

We called it Hot Belt too. Same rules as mentioned by John Lyons and to add to the pressure, whoever hid the belt would call out hot, warm, cold to the others that were searching. When the belt was found the finder would yell, “Hot belt!” and started whipping whoever was closest until all the searchers got back to ‘home’.

Just read the article in the New York Times (Sunday July 1st) Jackson Projects representing: 156 Street and Courtlandt Avenue. Skelsies was the game of the day along with Hot Peas and Butter. Wow, what great times. I’m down for a reunion challenge and make it official, the Bronx Crew are the best! Bottle tops were okay but we in Jacksons knew how to create the best spin top for skelsies. Can’t tell you all our secrets, just set up the games and let the fun began!

I grew up around Trinity Ave (saint marys project). We played skellys 60’s and 70’s.. until dark starting from midday. My top was a yellow disk from the school board little wax (To much would make the top wiggle when you “hunch it”.)One word we would yell “Sweepstakes”BEFORE your top got sent for a long journey By the time you got back you the board we were already well into the game. Anyone ever split a spinning top and the reward was getting that color on yours.What fun brings back so many memories.

Wow! Thanks for the memories.If you came to the block with a bottle cap we would probably under estimate you because that was like a beginners style.I wonder if school chair caps was a Bronx thing ’cause they are the only ones i saw posting it. I used to play on Marion ave. and also Decatur ave in The Bronx during the seventies.We took our mothers can openers to school and took the caps off of the chairs to get a professional’s cap. Small caps were called beenies and large were bullies. Sometimes we used clay instead of wax.If your cap began to roll you’d better yell “no kicksies” or we’d kick it like a soccer ball and more than likely you were guaranteed to lose.I think the drug infested eighties destroyed these games like ringoleavio,slugs,of the curb,stick ball,off the wall,kick the can,…………….you get the idea.

I grew up in the bronx 60’s and 70’s…158th st between 3rd ave and elton. ave and skelsies was a game we would play all day. We used to take the bottom off of chairs in school and used crayon wax to fill our tops….we would have differend sizes and all would be filled with your special color…Its funny im 48 and remember filling mine with yellow…… remember: hit a killa be a killa….
