It seems to me we played games at school such as skipping, hopscotch, marbles, But near home we played others such as "Sheep Come Home" which is something like "Simon Says" where you have to listen to make sure you don't run unless the exact words are said. Also the games already mentioned and "Duck the Rock" and another I am not sure of the right name but sounded like "Hoister Sales". Maybe someone else may remember.

That was probably "Hoist Your Sails" Carolyn. We played this as a group, two teams, whoever showed up at our gathering spot after supper; selected two captains, one for each team. One captain would take his team, work out a confusing route to a hiding place, leave the team there, and return to home base where a map would be drawn in the ground for the other team to follow, in the hopes that the hidden team would not be found. Lots of disputes would occur because the captain often forgot to draw a right or left turn in the map route.
