Remember King of the Mountain? In our most frequented playground it was a large concrete hill. That was a rough and tumble game.
King of the mountain was played on the piles of snow in winter where I grew up. Now they don’t let the kids play on them.
It's so sad. They've stripped the playgrounds of...wait for it...tetherballs.
What a weak society. I say this often; but I hope this last 2 generations doesn't have to defend us older folks.
Pretty sure at this point I'd rather do the fighting than have all these pudgy kids I see these days.
I can still feel the sting of a tetherball to the face!
Oh God or a kickball...and worse a basketball.
And for all the baseball I played I don't remember anyone ever suffering Commotio Cordis.
Or the dodge ball slammed at our bare legs. Boys loved it (us girls wore dresses and skirts in elementary school).
Tetherball is gone? That is awful.
Gone 5-10 years ago
We spent days hollowing them out into Snow Forts. Wet mittens still scraping freezing hands and the hot bath after stung. Good times.
They don’t even let kids play Dodgeball!!!
We played Smear the Queer (we didn’t know what a queer was haha) which was everyone dog pile on one person. Idk who won or how it ended. In tears probably. 😂
best game ever. I still have a 2 inch "strawberry" on my left elbow.
