We played Dodge Ball, Kick Ball, Tag, Touch Football, general ''kid stuff'. Many kids would go home with scars, skinned knees, fat lips, black eyes, etc., no lawsuits back then. Scotty |

We did all of that, and games like" shoes in a pile". PE Coach would take everyone's shoes, put them in a pile in the middle of the gym and stir them up. Big circle around the pile, then when the whistle is blown everyone jumps into the pile to get their shoes. first out wins, last out loses, everyone else just survives. Spect they don't do that anymore. Frank |

Doesn't do any good anyway. Kids will find ways to get hurt. I got a spiral fracture of the tibia in grade 3, in the sand pit. Course it took two other kids swinging me by the feet and hands to see how far they could toss me. ;-o Guess my mom should have sued and I'd be rich(er) now. (gr) Cheers Marty |

You had a playground? And Recess? Wow. You were one of the priviliged kids, weren't you? All we had was a hole in the ground, and they wouldn't even let us use that. All we could do was stare longingly at the hole, hoping against hope that we could somehow someday get into that soft cool dark depression to blot out the monotony that was childhood. But we were grateful for at least having that small amount of hope. //Walt |

Just ban the kids, then you don't need the stupid rules.

When I was a little kid... five or so, I was playing one day and swatted a
wasp. It stung me, and so did 1/2 dozen of his friends. I killed them all, ate two of them, then showed up on the front door all swollen. :-) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Martin Baxter" wrote in message ... katy wrote: Martin Baxter wrote: The kids can't even play tag! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...8KR36U00.shtml Sheesh ....
