My favorite battle of elementary school was when two kids got on swings next to each other, had nearby children pull them back horizontally against the hanging points so the chains are at a slight twist, and we point our feet at each other to kick towards the opposite child. If you wrangled the chain, you could kick the other person, but if the twist got the best of you, you will slam into their kick, smash each other’s hips together, or if the twist really gets you, smacking back to back, and if you have a good team of swing pullers/releasers, the momentum will make both of you crack the back of your skulls against each other. What precious memories we have as children.
I vividly remember riding my bike on the highway near my home. Trucks and cars would be racing so fast that the wind could blow me off the roadside. Looking back at it now I can not believe I was so stupid.
I stopped playing on the playground after falling on my balls on the monkey bars. I limped all the way to the teacher expecting some medical help and just got a "be more careful"
Could have been worse. My school did a big end of the year field trip to our states cedar fair park for just the fifth grade class and my buddy was hit in the balls so hard the morning of the trip he had stay behind because he could not stop writhing in pain. I've never seen someone literally turn green before or since.
I actually ran along the top of the monkey bars the day after it RAINED when I was a kid. Obviously, I slipped through 2 of the bars, but didn't hit a thing, and instead just winded myself and cried. Looking back on it, i could easily have broken my chin, bit off my tongue, caught my jaw on the bar in front or bashed the back of my head on the bar behind me. Pretty fun though.
I did a screwdriver type spin when I dived feet first into the local pool. Caught my chin on the edge of the concrete during a rotation, just as you would have done with those bars. Lucky I didn't get my tounge nor did i need stitches, but I did get little bits of medical tape to hold the split together. Now I have a permanent scar under my chin that I always forget about till i tilt my head near a mirror.
Surprised nobody's mentioned Swings of Horror: one kid runs in between all the swinging kids and they all shout "wuss!" when the runner stops or pauses (which turns into "what's up?" or "what's today's date?" whenever a teacher comes by)
my favorite game as a kid was called treeball. one or two kids got into this really climbable yet thin-branched tree, and however many else (usually five) all stood around with footballs and soccer balls and shit and just fucking pelted you until you fell out of the tree. the guys in the tree won when everyone else got bored or if someone's mom came and told us to stop playing
I remember playing waterbaloons where you throw waterbaloons at each other, but being in the woods, would use pinecones. When you run out of pinecones, you use rocks. When the winner would then be decided by ladt one left, you stop using pebbles for something bigger.
our school used chopped up bits of tires. that shit is A) not comfortable to land on in the slightest and B) a pain in the ass to get out of your shoes.
I was at a woodchip playground with my extended family, first day of a week long trip, and I gored my knee. My family wanted me to stop playing, cuz my knee was fucked, but I kept at it even after I gored the same knee again. It was a lovely time; knee wasn't a issue. I was at a mall with my parents; tried running up the escalator & gored my knee on the spiked edge of the fithy stair. That sure got infected.
@@Kevinofrepublic The only super dangerous thing I remember from my childhood was when I brought a magnifying glass to recess and started burning little bits of mulch with my friends. Got in a good bit of trouble from that. I'm going to go ahead and say sand is worth the investment.
I used to jump off 20 foot cliffs doing flips and played in construction sites during hurricanes... To say my point, Kids are dumb, and the fact you survive childhood is a god damn miracle.
ImmaLittlePip look at what happened when they take off the bubble wrap though! People nearly DIED in the original exams. Children fought in an actual death match to move up A SINGLE rank.
None of you have experiences the Australian version of being a bored kid. I would collect blue tounged lizards from under the dry bush and line them up in a row in the sun when I was bored. Those things were lazy when placed down but hurt like shit when they decided to bite and could break kids' fragile finger bones if you approached them wrong. Sometimes I would spot a snake and that would be when I knew it was time to go home. My record was about 6 lizards without any of them wandering off. It was kind of hard to play on the playground when my mum was constantly warning me about hypothetical drug needles being buried in the sand, reminding me that they could stab into my feet and send me wailing to the nearest hospital at any moment if I wasn't careful. I think I prefer the finger-eating lizards and possible venom noodles, thanks
They couldn't break fingers but we had the pussy American version of this in Florida, with those little green geckos. Only rule was you couldn't grab the ones that didn't have tails. I guess in our little minds that gecko had been through enough already
I recall one time a swingset nearly euthanized me when I was like 10 or so. I got the swing going crazy high, at least horizontal, but in my mind I wanna say it was slightly more so. Maybe that's just the fishing tale effect, but regardless it was going high and I decided to be that badass that goes for the jump. At nearly the apex of the swing I threw myself off and felt the most horrible thing I could have in that moment, my shirt suddenly pulling tight against me. Somewhere along the line my shirt had snagged on a chain link and I just came to a dead stop immediately after unseating myself. My feet flew forward so there was no chance of me landing on them and the swing just full on body slammed me into the sand. Best part was that i followed the arc of the swing on the way back down so I hit the sand with some momentum on the X-axis and slid through the sand after impact. In hindsight that was probably part of why it didn't kill me since the impact wasn't straight down into the ground, but still though, that fucking sucked. XD
Back in the day my playground had a long string of swings, so my friends and I would run in between the swingers to see who wouldn’t get hit by a wrecking ball child.
I got pulled under the merry-go-round as a kid some how that turned into a game where you hanging on to the bottom of a truck. No clue how I'm not dead.
My Elementary School had a "Sandman" style game. Cept it was over the rocks. Also we'd run on the monkey bars and the blind kid would try to chase. Looking back I'm not sure how I'm still alive after all the stupid shit I did.
I have vivid memories of this really dangerous thing in a playground. It was this huge stack of wood blocks all jumbled up in a tower like a game of jenga. The idea is to climb on it. Kids would climb to the super tippy top then jump down because we're kids and we're dumb. Eventually we had to start piling up nearby sand or gravel to try and soften the landing.
I remember the day my family moved into the suburbs. The street across from us went up a steep hill, and a bunch of kids were sailing down it on an old couch thrown on top a couple skateboards. We also rode our bikes around. The neighbor kid had a ramp. Sometimes other kids would lay next to it so we could jump them. Surprisingly no one got landed on, though one day we decided the new cool thing was to ride our bikes without hands and I ended up eating pavement.
The swing talked reminded me of playing what we back in elementary called pendulums. Basically there was swing set at my school that like ten swings as a part of it and when they where all, or mostly all, in use you would run from one end to the dodging the people swing in as straight a line as possible, as fast as possible. God we were stupid.
Remember parents to keep your kids indoors and let them play their video games. They won't get as much exercise, but at least they'll still be alive and safe.
So, the main thing at my school playground was we had a long line of swings, and we would run in between the swings while they're all being used and dodge all of the feet and bodies coming to knock out asses down. One time I was doing a run, and somebody called my name... I think it was a teacher yelling at me, and so I stop and look and get hit by a fucking Flash Kick from the kid I stopped in front of. I went completely airborne and crashed on the ground on my back surprisingly not hurt or injured.
I can relate to the sandman game. That's actually how I chipped my front tooth back in 3rd grade. It went down to the root to the point where even breathing in and out hurt. I had to get a venir to fix it. To this day more than 16 years later I still wince whenever I think about the possibility of slipping on something and chipping a tooth again. That hurt like a mother
pat vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency- things around him tend to slip through one another as their atoms are gently interlaced. his camera stand is sinking into his desk, resulting in the tilt because of an uneven weight distribution
When I was in secondary school, there were a couple of hungry guys during recess who would jump from the 2nd floor onto the roof of the shaded walkway, and then race to the canteen.
In fifth grade me and my buddy Corey came up with “Clog the slide” We would both go down and stop 3 feet before the last turn and just wait for people to start using the slide. When that shit was full the middle part would become a god damn hell hole.
I remember as a kid I would ride my bike down the hill in front of my house and then suddenly turn the handlebars so I'd fly off and roll down the hill. It's crazy that I never seriously hurt myself.
You know that slightly spongy but still really hard stuff that running tracks are made of? My elementary had a 6'x4' patch of that on a blacktop literally full of tiny rocks that were tarred into it. My and my friends played chicken, like you play in the pool, on that tiny block of almost cushion. I was nearly 5 feet tall in elementary school, and I was big, so the other kids always got on my shoulders. One kid got knocked off of me, landed face first on the almost cushion while just barely missing snapping his neck on the plastic slide behind us, and scorpions so hard his toes touch the back of his fucking neck. Then his body righted itself like a rubber band and he popped straight and landed face first on the ground again. As for swings... I always tried to swing over the top of the set, like that episode of Recess. I never made it, obviously, but I managed to make it higher than horizontal to the bar. I have no idea how I never fell coming down on the front swing. We always had competitions to see who could jump the furthest. The swing set was on one end of an around 15 foot long sand box next to a wall that led off the property. We always avoided that swing next to the wall if we could, but there were some bold ones who took the chance. Either despite or because I was the biggest I managed to shoot myself almost out of the sand box once. I think one kid actually did land outside it and immediately had to be helped inside.
I hope woolie adds a curtain or changes the camera angle because it's pretty weird watching people go into the bathroom. imagine if someone gets sick during the podcast.
@@ericplummer2763 They shouldn't move where the camera is but put the green screen behind them so when Pat has to rush to the bathroom before he shits his pants he has to burst through the curtain and destroy the illusion that they're recording in (Place castle of the week here).
I knew an Asian girl (I want to say Korean) who would do the twister on the swing and yell out "Spinning Bird Kick!" Gotta love a girl with a sense of humor...
I got jumped by a roving biker gang coming home from elementary once and that actually convinced me take judo classes so I could defend myself, but luckily it never happened again.
Aww man, with my friends we just fought on the ground because we all did martial arts, but fighting while hanging from the monkey bars sounds super fun.
Our playground had tractor tires to play in. It was very common for kids to be passing a joint inside (or drinking rain mixed with dirt, woodchips, and tadpoles) while the younger grades played tag on what was likely wet or snowed on rubber
Back in grade school on my former country of residence, our playground is surrounded by big rocks, some of which are jagged. I even heard a story of a girl rocking on the swing so hard that she launched herself onto one of those rocks, I'm pretty sure that was a lie though. Also our running track around said playground was made of gravel
I have to say, I did ride my bike around the neighbourhood. Of course, that was an Eastern European central city neighbourhood, so quite different from an American suburb. It's like a suburb of high-rise buildings with tiny roads between them, so you don't have speeding cars, but you have a high concentration of kids and parks. Back then the city population was about a third of what it is today, so that also made it safer. I actually see a lot of kids outside still - they would go around the neighbourhood, gather their friends, then sit down in the park and play fortnite on their phones. Or at least that's how I imagine you end up with a bunch of kids huddling together in a park shouting indecencies about someone's mum at a phone, lol.
I dont remember if it was a pull up bar or monkey bars but I was on top of it and some how fell and got my first ever nut shot in 3rd grade. That was the longest cry I ever had as I limped and cried all the way to the nurse. The worst part was when my nurse asked me to go to the rest room to see if u was bleeding as my eyes shot wide to the realization of. "I can bleed there???" 😂😂
We used to race our bikes around the local church. The "course" had us ride through the parking lot, through the narrow alley batween the church and the church wall, out into the back parkinglot, between 3 concrete pylons designed to keep cars from entering one area, OUT ON TO THE STREET, and then through the narrow entrance way in the fence back into the parking lot. No idea how none of us ever ate shit
The signature game at my school was horseface. You climbed around the playground, without touching the ground, as a kid tried to pitch a dodgeball at your face. Shit was rad.
Was I the only kid who just saw other kids doing these things and shuddered because I could easily imagine ALL the things that could go wrong to them, let alone me if I got up there and just refused to do any of these shenanigans at all?
Back in my day we were Cavaliers. We all rode on our bikes carrying a weapon of choice. I chose a broom. A striking weapon with long range, and a long pole for jammin in spokes.
I think the worst it ever got in my childhood was a kid in my old neighborhood who got stuck in what we would later discover was the older sewage pipes when we played the child friendly game _manhunt_ . Idk if canadians also call it that; It's hide and seek but once you find the kind you have to tag him or her as well. Sewage kid definitely won though since no one wanted to tag him.
I've only ever encountered Sandman as a trampoline game. One kid lays in the center, eyes closed, while you all jump at the edges in sync and say: "Sandman, Sandman, come alive Come alive when I count to five. One, Two, Three, Four, Five!" At which point the currently blind kid hops up and tries to tag everyone while they're dodging and leaping around the trampoline. Mainly around the edges. I'm surprised nobody fell face-first into the metal rim or walked right off the edge.
We had a trampoline game where we threw the entire pantry full of canned goods onto it, then played King of the Hill on the trampoline, no hands. Meta became kicking canned goods at the other players.
"sandman" was called "blind Grounders" where i was. there was grounders which was tag with your eyes open and then if the kids were bored or suicidal enough they'd do it eyes closed cause it was funny. essentially the same thing. if you were off the playground when someone said grounders you were out
Red light, Green light and Red Rover omg. 2 teams of kids stand in a line and lock arms. The team captains then pick a kid from the opposite side and they have to run full force and break through a “chain”. Needless to say the game was banned due to kids clotheslining themselves to hell and snappin the back of they head on the ground
I'm from a little city in the far south of italy, we were not poor, but the city had nothing but a beach and empty streets. When we weren't home playing vg, we played football outside most of the time, but when nobody shows up with a fucking ball was all about freeclimbing ancient city walls 14m tall, bow and arrows we made of umbrellas we found, someone will go to steal the mercedes thing from cars and we made shuriken ot of that... When you're bored...
A "game" we used to play in kindergarten was trying to one-up each other by jumping down from higher and higher places. No cushions or anything. Just find a tall thing, climb up it and jump down. Needless to say it went wrong at some point and we weren't allowed to jump from stuff anymore.
My elementary's version of the twister was you lay horizontal on the swing so that the seat was in your chest and stomatch and the other kids would wind you up and let you go
We had a game where we ran in between people swinging on the swing sets. like a line of 3-4 people swinging like 10 feet in the air. we also would whip the swing sets to make it go around the pole at the top. I think someone got hit.
At my elementary school kids would run between the ones swinging like traps in a dungeon I remember a kid was running through when I was swinging and I ended up swinging into em
Surprised nobody was swinging upside down like I used to. You start swinging then hold the chain, lean back so it goes upside down, then hook your knees around the chain so it holds you. My head would crush against the ground, I have no idea how I didnt crack my head doing that or just straight up climbing on the roof of the playground castle thing.
We have something similar to sandman in BC, or at least where I'm from, it's called grounders, and it's almost exactly the same as sandman but on any playground
No one did the piggyback riding? Where the large kid was the carrier and used the feet of his friend to kick the shit out of other kids that where also doing the same until last man standing? Or swinging between a bench and a windowsill (for example) and kick eachother while both swinging until someone fell (for bleeding, injury or lack of muscle stats).
Our version of Sandman was called Grounders. I hated it as a kid cause I was bad at not getting tagged but then too scared to climb around with my eyes closed. Weirdly, my friends and I played it once in high school, and I never got tagged once. Probably cause my friends in high school were a bunch of other risk-averse nerds who were also too scared to run around on the equipment with their eyes closed.
I remember I was playing on the playground and hanging upside down from the monkey bars. I literally fell and hit my head in such an odd angle, I was unconscious and woke up inside the house not knowing what the fuck happened. Lol
We had heavy tyre-swings that would teach you to fucking stay down after falling off, because if you try to get up before it stops, you're going to stay down anyway. Calcium was always an excuse. I just like milk.
Oh man, I was too big a coward to do the full horizontal swing. I always played it safe on playground equipment. I did the twister all the time, though.
My favorite stupid stuff done as kids was when me and my friends were so bored that we started hitting crab apples with sticks, baseball style. Someone got an apple in the face and it soon became a sticks and apple free for all.
I remember the last time I trusted a big jump: so I was waiting on a bus so I climbed a high wall to sit and rest cuz it was a long day. I see my bus coming and decide time to get off and there’s no choice but ease off the edge and drop. The 6 foot drop was fine however the landing resulted in me hearing and feeling the soft crunch of my right ankle giving out. The most unfortunate part is that i had to make a trans Atlantic flight the next day to get home, no handicap assistance....
When I was a kid, we would do the dumbest shit imaginable, like getting on a skateboard and riding down a steep, steep hill. This ain't your dad's Downhill Jam
Im from the Bay Area of California, what Pat (white square dad) is talking about i know. I went to a school (and play ground where the rules were kinda known but on some cowboy shit) where we would hang from the monkey bars and unclasp eachothers hands and the bigger kids would always win and it turned into more limber kids flipping upside down to smack like under your arms. Face hitting resulted in boos and imidiate drops from the monkey bar ring. Sometimes we would have do overs but i doubt it unless we wanted to see popular kids (like yours truly on the interwebs) but mostly we just said fuck it and did the do over cause it mustve been epic. Truly bored edit: The school is in Oakland Ca
There was a very long downhill entering my neighborhood, and i mean STEEP AND LONG DOWNHILL, if u race a bike down YOU WILL GET SPEED THAT WASN'T IN THE SAFETY SPEC OF A 30 DOLLAR DINKY BIKE... one of my friends got a fractured foot because the bike just gave up and broke apart just ate shit
ah i can top your play ground games back in my elementary school we played a game called "road kill" and basically we had a series of 6 swings in a line and the goal was to run through all 6 swings while the other kids were swinging and not get bodied. and of course we had to up the anti as well by getting the biggest kids we could to be on the swings while the scrawny fucks like me dashed between and the biggest kid was in the neighborhood of 200-300 pounds in 4th grade when I weighed 60 pounds wet and one time my best friend got nailed by him and went flying no joke 6 ft. over a fence that was behind the swings. 10/10 best game ever
I can only play outside within the walls of our house cause if I went beyond there’s is chance you’ll get attack by the neighbors dog resident evil style,,,fff that I’ll just play vidyagames
At my old school there was a game where everyone on the set of like twelve swings and some kid would try running in everyone’s kicking range and I remember kicking some kid so hard in the face
in 4th grade we had a weird platform that was made up of like 10 smaller platforms, all in a line, that you could walk on and they'd like shift from side to side. and so there'd be a game where 20+ kids would all stand on it at once and the goal was to just stay on, if you fell you had to get to the back of the line, and occasionally there'd be the asshole kids who'd push everyone else off
the only kids hanging around outside are kids whose homes are too high level so they need to grind exp outside
You're just out playing casually, meanwhile those kids are off grinding up their min-maxed builds to go fight raid bosses.
PvP servers are rough.
yeah ur have to grind a lot to fight ur step dad

Frankly, we called 'Sandman' woodchips. The game's the same, but it changes its name depending on what biome you're in.
We had the similar yet legally distinct "Sawdust"
We called it Groundstomp
I actually ran along the top of the monkey bars the day after it RAINED when I was a kid. Obviously, I slipped through 2 of the bars, but didn't hit a thing, and instead just winded myself and cried. Looking back on it, i could easily have broken my chin, bit off my tongue, caught my jaw on the bar in front or bashed the back of my head on the bar behind me. Pretty fun though.
You get two. God gives you two a decade.
Jesus God, just reading the first sentence was enough to give me an anxiety attack.
I slipped and the bar went between my legs and did a ballbuster on myself. I stopped getting near it since then
I did a screwdriver type spin when I dived feet first into the local pool. Caught my chin on the edge of the concrete during a rotation, just as you would have done with those bars. Lucky I didn't get my tounge nor did i need stitches, but I did get little bits of medical tape to hold the split together.

I remember the day my family moved into the suburbs. The street across from us went up a steep hill, and a bunch of kids were sailing down it on an old couch thrown on top a couple skateboards.
We also rode our bikes around. The neighbor kid had a ramp. Sometimes other kids would lay next to it so we could jump them. Surprisingly no one got landed on, though one day we decided the new cool thing was to ride our bikes without hands and I ended up eating pavement.
The swing talked reminded me of playing what we back in elementary called pendulums. Basically there was swing set at my school that like ten swings as a part of it and when they where all, or mostly all, in use you would run from one end to the dodging the people swing in as straight a line as possible, as fast as possible. God we were stupid.
Remember parents to keep your kids indoors and let them play their video games. They won't get as much exercise, but at least they'll still be alive and safe.
The end result of that is having a person who's completely incapable of dealing with the struggles of functioning in society, so which death is worse?
So, the main thing at my school playground was we had a long line of swings, and we would run in between the swings while they're all being used and dodge all of the feet and bodies coming to knock out asses down.
One time I was doing a run, and somebody called my name... I think it was a teacher yelling at me, and so I stop and look and get hit by a fucking Flash Kick from the kid I stopped in front of.
I went completely airborne and crashed on the ground on my back surprisingly not hurt or injured.
I can relate to the sandman game. That's actually how I chipped my front tooth back in 3rd grade. It went down to the root to the point where even breathing in and out hurt. I had to get a venir to fix it. To this day more than 16 years later I still wince whenever I think about the possibility of slipping on something and chipping a tooth again. That hurt like a mother
Going outside can actually be very bad for your health.
Being alive is a constant hazard

Is Pat's camera getting more tilted each episode?
I wish Woolie would tilt his opposite so it would look classy.
pat vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency- things around him tend to slip through one another as their atoms are gently interlaced. his camera stand is sinking into his desk, resulting in the tilt because of an uneven weight distribution
When I was in secondary school, there were a couple of hungry guys during recess who would jump from the 2nd floor onto the roof of the shaded walkway, and then race to the canteen.
Pat found eating carcinogenic computer mouse claiming, “I heard it makes me grow taller.”

Man, after hearing this, I'm glad my childhood turned out alright.
This whole conversation brought be back hooo man!!
In fifth grade me and my buddy Corey came up with “Clog the slide”
We would both go down and stop 3 feet before the last turn and just wait for people to start using the slide. When that shit was full the middle part would become a god damn hell hole.
I remember as a kid I would ride my bike down the hill in front of my house and then suddenly turn the handlebars so I'd fly off and roll down the hill. It's crazy that I never seriously hurt myself.
You know that slightly spongy but still really hard stuff that running tracks are made of? My elementary had a 6'x4' patch of that on a blacktop literally full of tiny rocks that were tarred into it. My and my friends played chicken, like you play in the pool, on that tiny block of almost cushion. I was nearly 5 feet tall in elementary school, and I was big, so the other kids always got on my shoulders. One kid got knocked off of me, landed face first on the almost cushion while just barely missing snapping his neck on the plastic slide behind us, and scorpions so hard his toes touch the back of his fucking neck. Then his body righted itself like a rubber band and he popped straight and landed face first on the ground again.
As for swings... I always tried to swing over the top of the set, like that episode of Recess. I never made it, obviously, but I managed to make it higher than horizontal to the bar. I have no idea how I never fell coming down on the front swing.
We always had competitions to see who could jump the furthest. The swing set was on one end of an around 15 foot long sand box next to a wall that led off the property. We always avoided that swing next to the wall if we could, but there were some bold ones who took the chance. Either despite or because I was the biggest I managed to shoot myself almost out of the sand box once. I think one kid actually did land outside it and immediately had to be helped inside.

I hope woolie adds a curtain or changes the camera angle because it's pretty weird watching people go into the bathroom. imagine if someone gets sick during the podcast.
That would only enhance the quality of this podcast.

@@ericplummer2763 They shouldn't move where the camera is but put the green screen behind them so when Pat has to rush to the bathroom before he shits his pants he has to burst through the curtain and destroy the illusion that they're recording in (Place castle of the week here).
I knew an Asian girl (I want to say Korean) who would do the twister on the swing and yell out "Spinning Bird Kick!" Gotta love a girl with a sense of humor...
Precious childhood memories
I got jumped by a roving biker gang coming home from elementary once and that actually convinced me take judo classes so I could defend myself, but luckily it never happened again.
Oh man this is definitely one of my faves. Holy shit this is amazing
Aww man, with my friends we just fought on the ground because we all did martial arts, but fighting while hanging from the monkey bars sounds super fun.
Our playground had tractor tires to play in. It was very common for kids to be passing a joint inside (or drinking rain mixed with dirt, woodchips, and tadpoles) while the younger grades played tag on what was likely wet or snowed on rubber
theqrokz
We had those too!
We would sometimes get in them and just roll the tractor wheel with us in it
I'm dead. I can relate 100%.
Getting old is fun
Ah yes, I was also part of the Donga tribe as a child
Back in grade school on my former country of residence, our playground is surrounded by big rocks, some of which are jagged. I even heard a story of a girl rocking on the swing so hard that she launched herself onto one of those rocks, I'm pretty sure that was a lie though. Also our running track around said playground was made of gravel
I have to say, I did ride my bike around the neighbourhood. Of course, that was an Eastern European central city neighbourhood, so quite different from an American suburb. It's like a suburb of high-rise buildings with tiny roads between them, so you don't have speeding cars, but you have a high concentration of kids and parks. Back then the city population was about a third of what it is today, so that also made it safer. I actually see a lot of kids outside still - they would go around the neighbourhood, gather their friends, then sit down in the park and play fortnite on their phones. Or at least that's how I imagine you end up with a bunch of kids huddling together in a park shouting indecencies about someone's mum at a phone, lol.
Dead air.
I dont remember if it was a pull up bar or monkey bars but I was on top of it and some how fell and got my first ever nut shot in 3rd grade. That was the longest cry I ever had as I limped and cried all the way to the nurse. The worst part was when my nurse asked me to go to the rest room to see if u was bleeding as my eyes shot wide to the realization of. "I can bleed there???" 😂😂
We used to race our bikes around the local church. The "course" had us ride through the parking lot, through the narrow alley batween the church and the church wall, out into the back parkinglot, between 3 concrete pylons designed to keep cars from entering one area, OUT ON TO THE STREET, and then through the narrow entrance way in the fence back into the parking lot.
No idea how none of us ever ate shit
The signature game at my school was horseface. You climbed around the playground, without touching the ground, as a kid tried to pitch a dodgeball at your face. Shit was rad.
Was I the only kid who just saw other kids doing these things and shuddered because I could easily imagine ALL the things that could go wrong to them, let alone me if I got up there and just refused to do any of these shenanigans at all?
Back in my day we were Cavaliers. We all rode on our bikes carrying a weapon of choice. I chose a broom. A striking weapon with long range, and a long pole for jammin in spokes.

I think the worst it ever got in my childhood was a kid in my old neighborhood who got stuck in what we would later discover was the older sewage pipes when we played the child friendly game _manhunt_ .
Idk if canadians also call it that; It's hide and seek but once you find the kind you have to tag him or her as well. Sewage kid definitely won though since no one wanted to tag him.
I've only ever encountered Sandman as a trampoline game. One kid lays in the center, eyes closed, while you all jump at the edges in sync and say:
"Sandman, Sandman, come alive
Come alive when I count to five.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five!"
At which point the currently blind kid hops up and tries to tag everyone while they're dodging and leaping around the trampoline. Mainly around the edges. I'm surprised nobody fell face-first into the metal rim or walked right off the edge.
We had a trampoline game where we threw the entire pantry full of canned goods onto it, then played King of the Hill on the trampoline, no hands. Meta became kicking canned goods at the other players.
"sandman" was called "blind Grounders" where i was. there was grounders which was tag with your eyes open and then if the kids were bored or suicidal enough they'd do it eyes closed cause it was funny. essentially the same thing. if you were off the playground when someone said grounders you were out
Swing Jumping was really the shit. My elementary school had pebbles instead of woodchips which made the best playground in town for it, too.
the last thing about the swing is the only thing i remember doing.
Sandman used to be called grounders here in Manitoba.
Red light, Green light and Red Rover omg. 2 teams of kids stand in a line and lock arms. The team captains then pick a kid from the opposite side and they have to run full force and break through a “chain”. Needless to say the game was banned due to kids clotheslining themselves to hell and snappin the back of they head on the ground
We used to play KOTH but we did it on the Massive snow banks that the plow created from clearing the Playground
I'm from a little city in the far south of italy, we were not poor, but the city had nothing but a beach and empty streets. When we weren't home playing vg, we played football outside most of the time, but when nobody shows up with a fucking ball was all about freeclimbing ancient city walls 14m tall, bow and arrows we made of umbrellas we found, someone will go to steal the mercedes thing from cars and we made shuriken ot of that... When you're bored...
top 5 playground death traps:
1. tire swing
2. tire swing
3. tire swing
4. tire swing
5. 1000 degree metal slide
A "game" we used to play in kindergarten was trying to one-up each other by jumping down from higher and higher places. No cushions or anything. Just find a tall thing, climb up it and jump down. Needless to say it went wrong at some point and we weren't allowed to jump from stuff anymore.
My elementary's version of the twister was you lay horizontal on the swing so that the seat was in your chest and stomatch and the other kids would wind you up and let you go
My Kumite was fighting the enrage timer on old dudes in third strike. I dont believe in the timer anymore.
We had a game where we ran in between people swinging on the swing sets. like a line of 3-4 people swinging like 10 feet in the air. we also would whip the swing sets to make it go around the pole at the top. I think someone got hit.
At my elementary school kids would run between the ones swinging like traps in a dungeon I remember a kid was running through when I was swinging and I ended up swinging into em
Surprised nobody was swinging upside down like I used to. You start swinging then hold the chain, lean back so it goes upside down, then hook your knees around the chain so it holds you. My head would crush against the ground, I have no idea how I didnt crack my head doing that or just straight up climbing on the roof of the playground castle thing.
Is Woolie talking about the Kumite? (WATAH!)
Did you say Kumite? (WHOOTAAH!)
We have something similar to sandman in BC, or at least where I'm from, it's called grounders, and it's almost exactly the same as sandman but on any playground
Grounders. What you were describing was grounders, Pat.
No one did the piggyback riding? Where the large kid was the carrier and used the feet of his friend to kick the shit out of other kids that where also doing the same until last man standing?
Or swinging between a bench and a windowsill (for example) and kick eachother while both swinging until someone fell (for bleeding, injury or lack of muscle stats).
Woah kemosabi, dead air.
Our version of Sandman was called Grounders. I hated it as a kid cause I was bad at not getting tagged but then too scared to climb around with my eyes closed. Weirdly, my friends and I played it once in high school, and I never got tagged once. Probably cause my friends in high school were a bunch of other risk-averse nerds who were also too scared to run around on the equipment with their eyes closed.
My favorite game was to have multiple people swing on the swing set then run between them like tomb raider
I remember I was playing on the playground and hanging upside down from the monkey bars. I literally fell and hit my head in such an odd angle, I was unconscious and woke up inside the house not knowing what the fuck happened. Lol
We had heavy tyre-swings that would teach you to fucking stay down after falling off, because if you try to get up before it stops, you're going to stay down anyway.
Calcium was always an excuse. I just like milk.
Oh man, I was too big a coward to do the full horizontal swing. I always played it safe on playground equipment. I did the twister all the time, though.
My favorite stupid stuff done as kids was when me and my friends were so bored that we started hitting crab apples with sticks, baseball style. Someone got an apple in the face and it soon became a sticks and apple free for all.
I remember the last time I trusted a big jump: so I was waiting on a bus so I climbed a high wall to sit and rest cuz it was a long day. I see my bus coming and decide time to get off and there’s no choice but ease off the edge and drop. The 6 foot drop was fine however the landing resulted in me hearing and feeling the soft crunch of my right ankle giving out. The most unfortunate part is that i had to make a trans Atlantic flight the next day to get home, no handicap assistance....
When I was a kid, we would do the dumbest shit imaginable, like getting on a skateboard and riding down a steep, steep hill. This ain't your dad's Downhill Jam
Im from the Bay Area of California, what Pat (white square dad) is talking about i know.
I went to a school (and play ground where the rules were kinda known but on some cowboy shit) where we would hang from the monkey bars and unclasp eachothers hands and the bigger kids would always win and it turned into more limber kids flipping upside down to smack like under your arms.
Face hitting resulted in boos and imidiate drops from the monkey bar ring.
Sometimes we would have do overs but i doubt it unless we wanted to see popular kids (like yours truly on the interwebs) but mostly we just said fuck it and did the do over cause it mustve been epic.
Truly bored
edit: The school is in Oakland Ca
There was a very long downhill entering my neighborhood, and i mean STEEP AND LONG DOWNHILL, if u race a bike down YOU WILL GET SPEED THAT WASN'T IN THE SAFETY SPEC OF A 30 DOLLAR DINKY BIKE... one of my friends got a fractured foot because the bike just gave up and broke apart just ate shit
ah i can top your play ground games back in my elementary school we played a game called "road kill" and basically we had a series of 6 swings in a line and the goal was to run through all 6 swings while the other kids were swinging and not get bodied. and of course we had to up the anti as well by getting the biggest kids we could to be on the swings while the scrawny fucks like me dashed between and the biggest kid was in the neighborhood of 200-300 pounds in 4th grade when I weighed 60 pounds wet and one time my best friend got nailed by him and went flying no joke 6 ft. over a fence that was behind the swings. 10/10 best game ever
I can only play outside within the walls of our house cause if I went beyond there’s is chance you’ll get attack by the neighbors dog resident evil style,,,fff that I’ll just play vidyagames
I can sympathize with that ankle story.
At my old school there was a game where everyone on the set of like twelve swings and some kid would try running in everyone’s kicking range and I remember kicking some kid so hard in the face
Sandman and king of the hill. Ive done those.
in 4th grade we had a weird platform that was made up of like 10 smaller platforms, all in a line, that you could walk on and they'd like shift from side to side. and so there'd be a game where 20+ kids would all stand on it at once and the goal was to just stay on, if you fell you had to get to the back of the line, and occasionally there'd be the asshole kids who'd push everyone else off
