Chap Door RunawayĬhappie was the ultimate game for daredevil kids (Image: Getty) Water fightsĪ great way to keep cool, heading to the local shop to buy water balloons to have a mini-rammy with, all fun and games until some wideo turned up with a Super Soaker and hosed everyone within a five metre radius. And remember drawing all over the pavements after with colourful chalk? The only time your maw didn’t mind you drawing on anything but paper. Great fun if you have good balance but still funny if you don’t. They then have to hop through the spaces to retrieve the object. Players toss a small object into numbered spaces of a pattern of rectangles outlined on the ground with chalk. It's then their turn to try to hit your kerb, feeling gallus, overheads and between the leg shots were worth a meaty 5 points. Once a winning point has been scored, move to the middle of the road and try to hit the keb again to rack up points, as soon as you miss you need to get back to your side quickly, if the other player hits you with the ball before you do, you lose a point and they gain one. Head for a quiet street then, standing on opposite sides of the road take turns to try to hit the opposing kerb for point, if you catch the rebound, you get two.
One of the simplest games you could play involved only three things: kerbs, a ball and two players. One of the most classic involved shooting 11 marbles into a circle and knocking other ones out of the ring. Loved the world over, marbles were also a much-loved game in Scotland, offering as many different games combinations as playing with cards. The rules? Find a good jam or coffee jar, fill it with water then go on an adventure to find the best petals to make the best perfume compared to your pals.Īnd if you found itchy coos or sticky willies to torment your friends with along the way then all the better. If they get through they can head back to their own line, if not? They are forced to turn traitor and join the other line and work to capture your friends from your original team. BulldogsĪ fun sight watching huge lines of kinds lining up at the opposite ends of a playground and facing each other with one trying to cause enough of a stramash to break through the opposing team's chain. If they get it right the children swap places if not the children have another go. Everyone is then told to open their eyes and the children who were touched stand up and try to guess which child touched them. The two left standing must then creep around the desks and gently touch one person each on the thumb. This absolute classic was a dream for teachers, two children are chosen to stand up and all the others put their heads down on their desks with their eyes closed and thumbs sticking up. Why not relive some of them with your own kids, here is a list of our favourite games you'll remember if you grew up in Scotland.
