After supper in the summer, in a small town of 4,500 in Southern Illinois we would choose up sides and play CHALK RABBIT. With 4 or 5 kids on a team, we would draw straws to see who would get to be the rabbit first. The rabbits got a five minute head start. You run down to the corner and draw an arrow with chalk on the sidewalk to tell which direction you ran. You did this at the end of each block. Finally, you would draw on the sidewalk four arrows in each direction and hide somewhere within that block. Sometimes we played with water guns and would hide in strategic places to eliminate the hunters. We played until dark and ran all over town. Simple game and lots of fun.
