re: Nostalgia thread - who can remember playing tackle at recess?

In elementary school we played war, using sticks as guns and potato masher grenades. Sometimes used sticks and limbs as swords and had sword fights. Teachers did not GAF. This was in the 80's.

We also had a long bench along the end of the basketball court and played King of the Hill. Two people would try to push each other off. If you pushed the other guy off you won.
