However, I have even more memories of another game we used to play. The basic idea was to get the ball into the opposing teams goal. By any means necessary. The game soon aquired the nickname 'Murderball' . Another game that taught you to be quick on your feet and have good passing skills. It was either that or get the shit kicked out of you by the opposing team. And I mean the whole team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foxer 0 Posted March 6, 2002 I remember playing "Smear The Queer" with an football(america football).You would get like 10 people (maybe more or less) and run around the field,then if wimp out you fumble it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colt 0 Posted March 6, 2002 @ nordin dk British Bulldogs when I played in junior school involved around 25 + of kids standing line across at one end of the playground and just one kid standing in the middle of the playground. The 25 + group of kids would then charge to the other end of the playground whilst the kid in the middle had to stop one of them by ANY means whatsoever ( usually violence masquerading as "rough and tumble". The kid he managed to stop would then be on his side, and the charge would start again. Eventually, there would be 25+ kids in the middle just waiting to kick the crap out of the last kid (the winner) who would have to charge to the end of the playground. There was no ball involved though. I'm sure every school has their own variation on it and I think it was eventually banned in Britain due to the amount of very serious injuries.

Thehamster 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Ahh I remember my old school many years ago we had a nice painful version of tag yep what we did would have one person being it but instead of having to get you they had to hit you with a tennis ball which they smashed at you with a tennis racket and when you were hit you were it after you got over the pain from where ever they hit you if your were a sadist type person you would aim low . Yep that was survival of the fittest as any fat person got annihilated on big target Yep this brings back happy memories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the nothing 0 Posted March 7, 2002 </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (Wobble @ Mar. 06 2002,13:47)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">anyone remember "red rover"?<span id='postcolor'> Yep... two teams put in two lines and one team had to choose the one who was gonna one who was to run into their line (which they held together with their arms) and break the line (and no, not their arms either). I played that real well... about.. 80% of the time I broke the position I got into... (and toppled their entire line at the same time... half of the time I broke the line) On another note, we also played a version of dodgeball in which we had two opposing teams and a border to seperate their areas. Anyone who had the ball was to throow it at the eney, and whoever was hit was made a prisoner of the opposing team. The "prisons" were held in the back areas of the team areas, and within throwing range of the opposition. If you threw a ball at a captive team member and he/she caught it, they could either come back to their area and be with their team or throw it at the enemy and get one out. If the ball was caught by an opposing team member after you threw it at him/her, you were out and made a prisoner of the other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Assault (CAN) 1 Posted March 7, 2002 With all this talk of childhood games like 'dodge ball', 'red rover', and 'British bulldog' and the like, I was thinking.......Maybe we should all meet somewhere and just play it already instead of talking about it! We can all wear name tags: 'Hello, my name is 'Assault (CAN)' LOL, Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted March 7, 2002 can;t believe they classified basketball as 'competitive'.... this is a bit too far..... thanx a lot aggressive parents!! they couldn't hold themselves, and get into fight, now they are making kids pay the proce for not being able to hold themselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallenPaladin 0 Posted March 7, 2002 Here in Germany it is even worse. Ten years ago many parents tried to grow a little Boris Becker or Steffi Graf. Today only the names have changed and not the circumstances... Today many children have to be like Michael Schumacher or Martin Schmitt. Why don`t let them decide what they like to do (play)?
