"Top 5 Outdoor Childhood Games"

Criteria: This idea began as a "playground" idea and morphed into any and all outdoor children's games we used to play. The idea is to find the games that we can still look back on now and proudly proclaim that we played. The games we would play again. Not stupid stuff like "Duck, Duck, Goose."
.

Overview: Any game that was played in a driveway, park or playground was open to discussion, but not playground equipment, like swings. That's a different list for another time which we will never do because it's stupid.

Rob's Notes: All of my games would still be fun to play today as an adult. I mean, c'mon, Whiffle ball is just street baseball. Dodgeball is just a kid's version Of war; aiming at and hitting another human being, how cool is that? Any game that included meanness or violence got extra points, by the way.


Arnie's Notes: This list is simple, as a kid I liked to play mean spirited games that picked on the smaller weaker kids at school. None better than smear th.e queer, mainly because there were never any teachers around to police it like Dodge ball. Kids, find the smaller weaker kids and make them pay
