I don't know about you, but I lived for recess when I was in elementary school. To this day, I love the swings and fantasize about swinging so high that I go all the way around! I liked playing jacks, hopscotch, basket- volley- and soft-ball, and soccer, too.
What did you do with those precious minutes out of the classroom?

I was awkward as a child and not very good at sports. I was a champ when it came to tether ball though...

jungle gym and 4 square! At home: kick the can, capture the flag, dodge ball, marco polo, and hung out in the tree house.

Ohhh ... I loved to play horses. FAST FAST FASTER. I won a contest in the 6th grade “Fastest Runner In the Class” I guess I should have been born a horse.
Dodge ball was another favorite. I only liked the games where I could usually win.

I liked swings too. Also jump rope we would sing the tunes and doing the antics. Like Teddybear,Teddybear, turn around

Down by the river, down by the sea, Johnny broke a bottle and blamed it on me. I told Ma, Ma told Pa. Johnny got a lickin' and "HA HA HA". How many lickin's did Johnny get? 1-2-3-4-5-6-7...

How about shooting marbles? I remember doing that! You could get a great collection going. I don't remember how to play now.

When we have our aka convention, we'll have a game. I remember the basics! Thanks for a great answer, clu.
Well, in kindergarten, we did a lot of roll playing, e.g., doctor and nurse, cops and robbers.. I liked playing doctor, but narrowed my practice to gynecology. Needless to say, the kind of exams I wanted to perform in kindergarten, I just couldn't do. So, "those precious minutes out of the classroom" were spent in my "private office" at home. Of course, a 5 year old is outside the "stirrups" of the law. How I long for the good ole days!
