Thread Name: Kid's stuff
Subject: RE: Kid's stuff
There are chalk lines on Orillia's sidewalk all summer, I sometimes still hop the things when I'm passing through.

I used to play Red Rover, but I got banned from playing it, (by the other kids,) because I had organized my team well, and my team always won. I tried to show the other kids what I was doing, but they didn't understand it.

When I was home educated, I made up a lot of games that only one person could play. It was fun.
(Though not very social, I guess.)

My favorite game was No Sand Tag. We'd play it in the playground, and climb the equipment in ways the designers never dreamed of, and you couldn't go to the ground. If you touched the ground you were automatically "It". For years, I was the only one who could go partway down the slide and swing into the underbelly of the wood thing, and then up into the top. If you went all the way down the slide, you would hit the sand. If "It" was coming down the slide after you, you had to be very fast!

It was so much fun... I wish they'd make adult-sized playgrounds! Gym just doesn't do it for me.
