    The one with the stones is " Go dung a Manuel road gal and boy fe go bruck rock stone gal and boy" you sing these words while everyone sit in a circle and pass a stone from person to person as fast as you can without squeezing your fingers under the stones

    This is one of my favorite kids' games .( WE'RE camping through the rocky road, right through, right through the rocky road. Said the gal 👧 me no love, me no chat to them, right through ,right through the rocky road 😂😂. This one, we formed a circle with one girl in the middle going around while we sang the song 🎵 until she picked the one she loved. That goes on until everyone gets their turned 😅.

    I am an 80s baby and I played a lot of the games you mentioned. In reflection, they were games that prepared us for life! How to socialize, compete in a civil way and understand that someone will be better than you, but it's all right and that there will be something that you'll be good at. A nuff girl get impress with these games and also, nuff kiss got stolen with that 123 red-light game, after school bell ring. Hahaha. High school games involved 'draft' and 'money football' until we start playing the real football in between recess and after school.
    In my earlier teenage years, I discovered that I was very creative at kite making. I made them all! From the 'bone' of a coconut tree, to 2 inch wide bamboo frames, at times, 10 ft high, 6 ft wide, with a 100 ft tail for stability and zingers that was louder than any Leyland Truck. I'd set it for sail and it'll be there from evening until morning. That was the peak of my creativity as a young man growing up. All good memories though. Gwaan do the right thing boss! Excellent job.

      It’s sad as I played these games but can’t remember the rules and details. 😀. Some I do like Brown Girl in the Ring. We even had Ms. Jamaica contest. Jacks and many other games thought you quickness/dexterity. I was v/good at it. You learned so much ..team play/how to resolve issues/negotiation skills. Taking turns.

      Marble, Jax and even an elastic game in which you'd bounce it off the wall to intersect with others and then you'll capture those that you overlap
