Playground entertainment?

[Scarface]

In juniors we used to play a game that basically consisted of running at a wall, jumping up to a ledge on the wall and perching parrott stylee for as long as possible. Completely pointless, but top fun.

Sounds like urban free running to me!

I was at Fairliight as well, but if you were singing Peter Ward songs I think you might have been there a little earlier than me

Yes thats it. You may have seen me in the BBC trailer. I wasn't the well built bloke running over roofs, I was the bloke in the background, you can just make me out wheezing and throwing up after running 100 yards. (Thats 46.9 meters to any young'ens listening on the wireless)

50-a-side football matches, rush goalies, no fouls, no offside (sic), no ref (ha ha), bundles all over the playground, and the ubiquitous jumpers for goalposts.

Usually something like 48-3 when the bell went, but the shout always went up "next goal wins" Marvellous scenes.

"It" was always a classic, and "sticky policeman" But a good game of footy always went down a treat depsite it being banned.

We came up with similar alternatives that proved more dangerous, racketball and handball with the rules of football took place.

We even had a one wixket cricket phase, test matches would sometimes go on for weeks. I remember batting for about 2 weeks before going out. Hillarious

Anyone remember a game called "Best man's fall"?

Basically, someone was chosen as the executioner and the lads lined up to be killed. One by one, they called out how they wanted to be killed and the exectioner duly obliged. The winner was the one who "died" the most dramactically. Then it was his turn to be the executioner.

For some reason I used to favour the "arrow in the eye ... please" option shouting "William, you bastard!" as I fell to the ground in agony.

Kiss chase for me.(Shame it was a boys school)

 

[magoo]

I just remember running around all the time like a f*cking nutter. Must have been some point to it?

 

[moggy]

my favourite was dodge-ball.

used to play that regularly at benfield

marbles not included either

 

[ShorehamGull]

Played all of them, but mainly footie. We used to pick teams and the crappy players used to get picked last, we used our school bags as goalposts, and had rush goalie. The scores used to end up being in double figures.
