    Did anyone else play What Time is it, Mr. Fox? It was my favorite game in elementary school. One person is Mr. Fox and they stand at one side of the gym with their back to everyone else. All of the kids ask Mr. Fox what time it is; whatever hour Mr. Fox yells back is how many steps you take towards him. After a few rounds, Mr. Fox will say it’s midnight. Everyone tries to run back to home base and Mr. Fox has to try to tag someone before they are safe.

    40/40 - where you had one person count to 40 and everyone else hides, and once they reach 40, they run around and look for them but everyone has to make it back to "home" without getting caught.
    What's the time Mr Wolf - where one person was the wolf at the front, facing away from everyone else, and everyone would ask "what's the time Mr wolf" and the wolf would say "its __ o'clock" and the wolf would count to that number and then turn around, and if anyone was caught moving, they'd be sent back to the beginning line.
    Grandma's Footsteps - Same as whats the time Mr wolf, but the person at the front could turn around whenever they wanted and didn't have to count or say anything.
    We had 7 up as well, but we called it heads down thumbs up and it didn't have to be 7 people.
    Stuck in the mud - essentially freeze tag, and you can free someone who is frozen by touching them.
    Splat - everyone is in a circle, with one person in the middle. The person in the middle points to someone with their hands out like a gun and says splat. That person then has to duck, and the people either side of them have to turn and face each other and say "splat". If they say it last, its their turn in the middle.
    Down in the jungle - you would sit in a circle with everyone's hands out, and your right hand would be on the person to your right's left hand. then you would sing a song and slap the other person's hand, going round the circle until the rhyme stopped. The rhyme, as I remember, went like this: "Down in the jungle where nobody goes, there's a great big gorilla picking his nose, and he picks and he flicks it to see where it goes, who's gonna get that, who's gonna get that, who's gonna get that slimy SNOT!" if your hand was slapped on "snot" then you were out
    We would also do eeny meeny miny mo, black shoe, coconut crack, ippa dippa dation, ip dip do ... that's all I can think of at the moment tho.

    I was a kid in the 80s and I can't stress enough how much Conkers was literally pre-internet Pokemon - as soon as the first ones dropped you'd be out with your friends trying to find the best ones... then there were all the supposed methods of hardening them up, soaking in water or vinegar or lemon juice, baking them - drilling the hole before or after these methods etc. Sometimes you'd find one that had a sharp edge (I think we called them "wedgies"?) and you'd try to hit your opponent's conker with the edge. My friends and I would collect loads and compare them, argue about the methods... It was a massive thing every year, there was even a children's storybook called The Conker as Hard as a Diamond

    So in elementary school in gym we would play this games called shark attack. we would use a huge parachute and everyone had to sit at one side and wave it. so there were two sharks and two life guards. so the sharks would be under the parachute while everyone else was waving it and they had to go up to people and drag them under and if they were dragged under they were now a shark. But the life guards would walk around and if someone felt a shark pulling them they could yell *ShARk AtTAckK* and the life guards would run over and pull them out before they were completely pulled in by the shark and they would just continue.

    We also had “Stuck in the Mud” which I think is the same as frozen tag, and there was “Octopus” which was like you stood at one wall, one person would stand at the other and you’d have to run to the other wall before the single person gets you. If they did, you’d be stuck where you were tagged and try to tag people running by you... There was also “What’s the time Mr Wolf” which was similar but “Mr Wolf” would say a time, some one else would ask, then if they said “Dinner time” you had to freeze. First person to get to Mr Wolf wins. There also a game (don’t remember the name) where you’d choose a subject (like favourite film) then one person doesn’t know what your choices were and would “knock” and ask you for your answer- you would say it, and if it was the one they were looking for, you’d have to beat them to the other wall.

      For "what's the time Mr wolf" we did it where Mr wolf says a time and people had to step forward that amount. He could urn around at any time and everyone had to freeze. If you moved you were send to the start. Then at any time he can announce "DINNER TIME" and it basically became tag

    At my UK schools our version of 'Protect the President' was called 'Doctors and Spies'. So you wouldn't know who the doctor or spy was for either team and you'd have to figure it out and work your way through the team until you got the doctor or spy out. To distract the opposing team a group of people would go and heal/revive the player that had been hit so they wouldn't know who the doctor was. The spy was allowed to cross the bench in the middle which was separating the two teams and do close up shots at the other team. It was brutal but extremely funny too 😂😂

    We were in a sports hall and one person got picked. All people stay on one side and the person on the other. The people all shout „captain captain how deep is the waaaaateeeer?“ then the person says „deeeep!“ then the people „how can we cross the riiiver?“ and the person chooses anything like crab walk, jumping with one foot, run backwards etc and then the person has to catch as many people as he can the same way as the people are crossing the river. For example when the person says run backwards he has to run backwards as well and catch people and the people have to try crossing the river (aka going to the other side) without getting catched.
