Another topic I am working on for my book is on the old Early School yard games .... which kids of today don't play and may never have heard. Even though I am not that old yet I still remember playing some old school yard games and I'd like to include a chapter about these old school games to help them stay alive and show the children of this generation what we did for fun before everyone started get these new electronics such as cell phones, computers, video game consoles. I am interesting in any and all school games you can remember... Early School yard games - what do you remember these games being and how did you play them as I may not be familiar with these games? Here is some I have found out about so far: Halley-over baseball Fort-building Tug-of-war Red rover Leopold Scrub I declare war clap in clap out This list is just to get you started on thinking of old games --- Some I have found info on but not on the list so far.
