re: What are some games you played at recess or lunch

Played stretch and chicken.
Stretch, 2 guys 4 ft apart, both with feet together. Toss a knife and stick in in ground, opponent would have to move his closest foot to it. Keep playing until one person could not stretch far enough.

Chicken, well it’s the opposite of stretch. We were all friends and u got to know who could stick knife in ground where they were aiming! Yeah, several of us got stuck, nothing serious. Most would chicken out before that though.
