I love playing games like Red Rover and Simon Says. Both of my grandmas and grandpas played those games when they were little, so those games have been around a superly long time. I didn’t even have to see this meme on my one grandma’s page to know that’s true.
So I decided maybe I should do a poll on my blog today all about kids games you played when you were way little.
I was going to do a poll but I couldn’t figure out how to do one of those fancy one for free on my blog, and plus one I don’t have to sign up for because my mom says every time you sign up for something free it costs you all your personal information. That’s how come I’m not allowed to sign up for free stuff in real life or on the Internet.
That means I’m going to have to ask people here and on my Facebook page to just write in their favorite kids’ games. To make it a little easier, I’m going to share some of the games I play and my mom played and my grandparents plays in case people have trouble remembering the names of some of the games they played. And plus, also you can have more than one favorite kids’ game because sometimes games are way too much fun to pick one as the best of all of them.
- Kick The Can
- Red Rover
- Simon Says
- Tag
- Red Light, Green Light
- Blind Man’s Bluff
- Hopscotch
- What Time Is It Mr. Wolf?
- Mother May I?
- Capture The Flag
- Tug Of war
- Chinese Skipping
- Double Dutch Skipping
- Four Square
- Hide and Seek
If you have a game that’s not on my list, that’s okay. Just tell me the name of it in the comments section (either here or on my Facebook page) and how it gets played because maybe it’s a game lots of other people remember and maybe even a game that kids my age maybe want to learn to play.
Some games you need a lot of space so you can play it. That would be games like Tag and Red Rover and Hide and Seek. But some games you don’t need so much space like Simon Says and Hopscotch. Also some games are not nice games like Dodgeball because kids and grown-ups can get hurt playing that game and that definitely is not fun at all. So, no Dodgeball, okay?
I’m thinking it would be great also to find out about kids’ games that get played in other countries because probably in England and Europe and Australia and Africa and Canada and other countries, they have games I never even ever heard of before. How much fun would that be to learn new games?
That’s all from me this week, and remember: Twenty twenty one is more than just counting. It’s the new year!
