What about red rover? I've nearly had my arm or wrist broken or shoulder dislocated many times playing this game at recess as a youngster when fatty was invited over.

The trick is to lift your arm at the last second and go for the neck

Banning tag is dumb and counterproductive but I think I'd have a bigger problem with this as a parent.

Why?

We always played football at recess (and it was intense) and teachers weren't paying attention or looking at all.

So you supervise your kids at all times and will thru age 18? The answer is no. Kids need to figure shite out on their own....face to face......no cell phone.....or texts......they need to deal with disappointments EARLY in life.

No more tag, ring around the rosey, dodgeball, or 4-square. Now the game of choice is staring at a wall

We would play wall ball

If you didn't make it back to the wall in time you had to stand facing the wall with your hands on the wall and get pegged with the ball

We would go back to class from recess with welts and bruises

And no one cared! Teachers didn't care, parents didn't care.

This, and I'm only 31. To quote Daniel in FtWD, "When it happens, it will happen quickly". This world is going to hell in a hand basket really fricking quick. Elon Musk isn't trying to populate Mars to save humanity from an existential crisis, he's trying to populate Mars to reset because these liberal fricking pussy SJW's are driving strength out of the human species. We will not have the will to fight for the survival of our species through any real worldwide threat because we will be too pacified from any form of action.

OK, but a week ago it was deemed inappropriate to question a kid for bringing in a bizarre looking electronic device claiming to be a clock and setting of the alarm in class?

Makes sense...

We coddle our kids so much. shite like this always makes me chuckle when I hear women asking where all the Men went. You are punishing anything remotely physical from grade school up and telling future men that even a glance can be sexual harassment which will immediately ruin your career.

We had dodgeball until Larry got his glasses knocked in and it blinded his right eye. Parents sued and most likely won. It got banned, frickin Larry.

Do kids still play kiss chase? I bet you get labeled a sex offender if you try to play that game today.
