Would "fivestones" be Jacks? Sounds like the same game.

And in my bit of S. Ontario, Knocky Door Ginger was, I think, Knock Knock Thief.

We used to play variations of tag - like freeze tag, What Time is it Mr. Wolf, Simple Simon Pieman, etc.

There was some other thing - Statues? - where one person would swing the others around by the hand and let go; they then had to freeze into a strange position and were judged as to which was funniest.

And I'm pretty sure our gun-shots were K-pow, K-pow. I'll bet that it depends on your age, and what kind of guns were shooting up the bad guys in your particular era. I'm a Lone Ranger generation, me.
