Actual games I played in childhood was a game I made up called "Crack the skull". One person has a metal bat, and has to smack peoples head with it as hard as possible. The number 1 rule was "NO helmuts allowed" ...
Of course, I'm joking. Actual games, I really played through childhood were like Hide & Seek, Tip, 44 Home, Bull rush, Infection, etc.
