The nylon/sock game goes like this: You take the end of a nylon or a knee sock and put the ball in and stand up against a cement wall and swing the ball so it hits the wall on your right and then your left and on certain words you lift your right leg (or left if you’re left handed) and hit the ball on the wall under your leg and here is the song you sing (the one I knew anyway) (lift leg on the word sir all the time) Hello Hello Hello Sir Are you coming out Sir No Sir Why Sir Because I caught a cold sir Where did you catch the cold sir Up in the north pole sir What were you doing there sir Catching polar bears sir How many did you catch sir One Sir Two Sir Three Sir That’s enough for me sir G’bye G’bye G’bye Sir See you in July Sir Eating Christmas Pie Sir!

I remeber playing a SPALDEEN GAME in the 60’s. We called it “A my name is” How is worked was that you would bounce the ball to “A my name is alice and my husband’s name is Al, we come from Alabama and we sell apples.”. Each time an “A” word was mentioned you had to cross your leg over the ball while bouncing it. You would continue with the whole alphabet. You would either miss crossing over the ball for one of the words, couldn’t figure out a name beginning with the letter, or miss the ball completely.

I played a similiar game : A my name is Alice and my husband’s name is Al we come from Alabama and we sell Apples. B my name is Betty … Every time you use that letter your leg goes over the ball.When you missed a pass or lost control of your ball it was the next player’s turn I spent hours doing this.

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 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?
I thought it was just me!…

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?
