I am an old man (55) but during the 1970’s, our elementary school in Baton Rouge played kickball, flag football, and soccer for Physical education class.
During recesses, the boys played football with a nerf football and it was all against all to see who could score a TD.
We also had a presidential fitness campaign where boys and girls would participate in pull-ups, sit-ups, push ups and I believe a 600 yard run ? If you could complete the reps then you would get a patch from the fitness council.
We also had a day or two off from elementary school to participate in Field Day where competing grades and classrooms did outdoor sporting events to win a that a boy award . This was in elementary school only.

Suicide was the best. Got pegged in the back, many times.

When we mastered the paper triangle we started using coins, took longer to score with those. I used the paper triangles for giving love notes to girls and folding hundreds of them taught me how to fold the American flag nice and tight.
We also played tape ball, duct tape a wadded up paper cup and used a stick for the bat. I always thought the “ghost runner” was funny, if you didn’t have enough human base runners.

Haha. Red Rover could be lethal. Nothing like running full speed and having your neck clipped. Good times.

Tetherball was a big one, smear the queer we probably played the most. There was wall ball and football but 99% of the football games devolved into smear the queer

We’d play football at the table using a triangle shaped folded piece of paper
Yep. Paper football was a mainstay.
Two other things popular when I was in younger grades, but which I think was fading out even then were:
Marbles - both the standard game, and an offshoot where we cut a hole (slightly bigger than the size of a marble) in the cigar boxes we kept our marbles in. We'd take turns trying to drop a marble into an opponent's cigar box. If you made it, you got one of their marbles. If you missed, they got your marble.
Tops - this evolved into people sharpening their tops' points and even replacing it with a screwdriver blade. One person would spin their top and the opponent would throw their own top and try to split or damage the first person's top.
