Kick the Can- can is laid on the ground. One or two defenders. Five of more people starting on the perimeter. At “go”, the attackers vie to be the first to get by the defenders to kick the can. Pretty brutal at times. A lot of clothes lining and kicking by the defenders. Only thing prevented was closed fist punches.
Wiffle Ball
Hand Ball- basically wiffle ball rules but using your hand as the bat and a tight ball of aluminum foil.
Brick Wall- basically an Oklahoma type football drill with no pads. Set up a rectangle about 10 yards long and 5 yards wide. Goal is for the runner to cross the score line in 4 plays. Two defenders on their hands and knees and one runner. As soon as the runner takes off, defenders can stand up. Scoring was harder than it might seem. Runner didn’t have that much of an advantage before defenders were up.

Tag (not it), tackle the man with the football, hide and seek, touch, flag and tackle football, baseball, H.O.R.S.E. in basketball or 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 half court games.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's so we also played a lot of cowboys and Indians and war games.
ETA: Damn near forgot about marbles. I won lots of marbles in schoolyards during recess and lunch.

Bottle rocket wars,
Evil Knevil, ( at least 6 broken bones)
Rollerball,
Exploring
Rock wars
Smear the queer of course, (you just gang tackle the guy with the nerf ball)
And everyone’s favorite, Wasp War. We would all throw tennis balls, rocks, whatever at big wasp nest 2 stories up and then when someone finally hit it, (usually when no one was paying attention), everyone hauled arse and you would see who get stung. I remember making a beautiful perfect throw once and these wasp tracking it back to me in no time time busting my arse right above and below my ear. I couldn’t hear out of it for a week.
Ding dong dash which we called something else which would get me banned.
fricking with the shitty neighbors was also a full time job.
And of course the usual beating the shite out of each other.
This shite would have killed us, we were much tougher than kids today and didn’t typically go inside until dinner. Since we were boys, we just pissed outside too. Lol
What great times.

We had a custom made rectangular trampoline. Some welder baw hooked my dad up. That thing was made out of oilfield pipes. Talk about hurt when you landed on them! It was the perfect size to fit between the house and the swimming pool. We would jump from the roof, to the trampoline, to the pool. Not sure how we didn’t die!

The one where we threw red balls at each other.
The one where we knocked on doors and ran.
Stab the vagrant.
Burn the Mexican.
Kidnap the kid.
Hang the hobo.
Punch the pussy.
It was such an innocent time.

Ghost in the graveyard and capture the flag were staples.
Football, baseball, etc.
And of course in the 90s when families were all getting those basketball hoops that could be easily raised and lowered. We’d lower it to a dunkable level and then rotate the house we played at whenever we finally destroyed the hoop.

My cousins and I had rules for different wiffle ball games. Played baseball with friends at the BREC park. When I was young, many an epic battle from the Civil War, World War II, and Vietnam was fought in my backyard. Played with my GI Joes outside a lot, digging trenches and shite for them. Trampolines without safety nets and spring covers. Riding bikes, cutting through people’s yards and stuff. Cops and robbers. Hunt the Jew. Cowboys and Indians. Great times.

When we had enough kids, frisbee football.
Lots of wiffleball, we would stuff the ball through the slats so it had more carry. Anyone else ‘member the term “ghost runner” when you only had a few players?
Related: There’s a dog park I cut through on my bike route with a kids mini-baseball field that would be perfect for a drunken adult wiffle ball league. About to get warm, maybe this shutdown won’t be so bad.

Ever run through a back yard at night and hit a clothes line?
We also flew kites.

Hide and seek
G.I. Joe with the plastic M-16
Tackle football in the front yard...that was dumb.
****** knocking
Get like me
Used to hit golf balls with wood bats in the neighborhood. The balls would go so far that no one would know who did it.
There were more than I can recall.
