Playground Games

Following a discussion with a friend from Mexico this evening, I’ve realised that my memory is going. I was trying to describe playground games from my time at primary school, and I fear that some of them have gone forever from my mind. In an effort to combat this I thought I’d document the ones I remember here, and perhaps other people may stumble upon this list if they are trying to jog their own memories.

  • British Bulldog
  • May I
  • Polo
  • Red Letter
  • Chainy
  • Kiss, Cuddle or Torture
  • Kissy cats
  • Cat’s Got the Measles
  • Stick in the Mud
  • Tig
  • Tiggy on High
  • Hot Chocolate
  • Farmer, Farmer
  • Tig on Lines
  • In and Out the Dusty Bluebells
  • The Farmer Wants a Wife

At some point I’ll come back and flesh these out with descriptions, but for the time being its a list I can keep coming back to.
