I also went to an all boys boarding school and this is not the right place to mention what when on when lights went out!!!
Kiss, cuddle or torture
Polo
What's the time Mr Wolf
Dodgeball
and in Primary 5 we went through a stage of fighting every lunch hour, boys v girls, it was a really wee school and very civilised, we would discuss it in class before the lunch break, then try and knock ten bells of **** out of each other, ah those were the days lol.
Did any one play "heads down, thumbs up"? It was played in the classroom and looking back, I suspect it was just a way for the teachers to shut us up for a bit
Red Rover wasn't that much different to Boot Square. Two teams, facing each other all linking arms/holding hands. You sing,
'Red Rover, Red Rover, I call *insert name here* over', and whoever is called has to run at the other team, choose a gap between two people and try and break through. You get 10 seconds. If you can't get through, you have to switch teams.
Not played in the playground, but in the garden - Stretch - You stand, facing your opponent, about a metre away from each other and throw a penknife so it sticks in the ground. They have to stretch a foot to reach the knife, then it's their turn, and the game finishes when one player can't reach the knife with a foot. I remember it was hard to get the knife to stick in, especially if you tried to get it to go out of the other person's reach.
