Default school games

As a teenager we played two hand touch at night. Used a white football in the school yard. Just had the lights in the street next to the school.
Alos play hockey at night but used a dead spalding ball and we did not wear skates. When our sticks broke we taped with metal to support the broken blade. We enjoyed watching the sparks fly!

One other game, a version of hide and seek. It ws calll ring-a-levio. Have no idea how to spell it. There were two teams of about 10 and one team had to hide (generally in bushes) Lot's of fun when guys were tackled when found.

How about playing hardball on a softball asphalt field.

Played punchball but the "hitter" threw the ball up to himself.
My secret was to place my thumb in my fist. 350 CCs of power!

Lastly, did anyone play skelly? Hitting a soda cap on the floor to numbered boxes in a square. We also used tops of jars as well.
