Which Outdoor Games Did You Enjoy Playing as a Child?

Same games as yourself. Tag is still used in play grounds today. But den building pretending to be in a survival camp would be great take us days but loved the end results

Making dens, making potions with stones/sticks/leaves, anything we could find, knock-a-door-run was so much fun (called Chappie where I’m from), racing each other... we had plenty of toys/games but had the most fun with our imagination. British Bulldog was banned at our school aswell. We all protested it but honestly I don’t think any of us had a clue what it was. We were just copying the bigger kids.

One game I can't remember in high school we would throw coins up against wall, closest would keep the coins

British bulldog

Hopscotch, Simon Says, two balls up the school walls, marbles, jacks, skipping. Nearly every girl had a skipping rope and the boys had bags of marbles.

mooncat we used to call the door knocking one 'knock down ginger'.......haven't a clue why.

Where I lived was a very close community we all played together bulldog kiss catch marbles squarie like kick the can magic rope but that it us in lots of trouble two balls

I liked playing with marbles over the drains. Obviously we never thought about hygiene back then

Kurbs was often played in our street, Also, what's the time Mr Wolf & Knocky neighbours.

Knock down Ginger

I lived in the countryside and our neighbours owned a farm. We used to ride horses, feed the animals, play hide and seek, play in the tree house, roll the hay bales, play in the woods, paddle in the stream, walk all the neighbours dogs, ride our bikes, play rounders, football. We were a very close knit community, as kids we were always in and out of each others houses and our parents always knew which house we were in. My parents still live in the same house I grew up in and they are still a close knit community.
