Fun and Games Friday
Posted on: July 5, 2013
Hello Friends, are you having a fun day!
Do you remember as a child spending hours outside running and playing games all day long? Laughing, yelling, sweating and imagining, making up the rules as you went along, just plain fun. What were some of your favorite games, I remember some of mine were:
Double Dutch
Tag
Hop Scotch
Yo-Yo
Twister
Red Light Green Light 1 2 3
Jacks
Chinese Jump Rope
But my all time – #1 favorite game was “That’s My Car”…which I’m still playing today!
This Mercedes belongs to a friend…but last week it was “my car!”
A girl can dream can’t she?
Now go outside and play – Smooches!

Did you play, “Oh Mary Mack” a hand slapping game? I was in the Mary Mack pub in Dublin and they never heard of it!

I loved playing 4 square, but I was more of a play on the playground, no real games type of kid =) I still am not coordinated enough to do double dutch! I could do jump rope games that only involved one rope though!

Is 4 square like “box ball”?

I would assume so, 4 kids and a dodge ball. You try to bounce it in another kids square so that they can’t catch it. If it bounces twice they get knocked down to the bottom box and others rotate up. We used jack king queen and ace as our designations with ace being the top spot!
