Loved to play ''Queenio, who's got the ball, Are they big or are they small?'' We used to play this and loved when you had the ball and the Queenio didn't guess correctly.

Red ass - Headers and volleys with the added bonus of getting to kick the ball as hard as you can against the arse of the loser

Rounders... Cause I could bat like Rodriguez and run like Gump!

My primary school didn't really have much in the way of facilities, so I ended up making up a game for me and my friends... It was called "kick the wall" and what you'd do is dip your runner into a puddle to get it wet, then kick as high up as you possibly could, leaving a wet footprint on the wall. And whoever got the highest footprint was the winner. And then it evolved a bit to the point where you didn't have to actually make contact with the wall, but just "flick" your wet foot at the wall to leave the highest mark.

Ehhh... I wasn't a particularly creative child, this kept me and my little group of friends entertained for ages! :P

British Bulldog or red rover - the thrill of racing from one end to the other without being caught. testing speed and agility... and making sure you were beside a slower person each time!

Please do not try this at home and YES it was utterly stupid

We had a field beside the yard at secondary school,
One of the lads brought in a crossbow one day,we went into the field and he shot the bow directly vertical and we had to dodge it coming back down

My primary school yard had some trees, shrubs, flower beds and concrete steps and concrete surrounding raised flower beds. We decided this would make a great obstacle course. We used to have races over set courses and it was great fun to try and win as many races as possible. Bruises and scratches were not mentioned and torn clothes and muddy shoes were just trophies!

It was like an original Game of Thrones, there was a track aroung the school yard and there would be demons along the track ready to execute you as you went through the course. Geting through was tough but when a girl beat the boys, it was great

French skipping, consisting of a large piece of elastic worn around the ankles by two girls standing opposite one another.

Then another person would jump in and out of it using various different footwork combinations (lots of different ones !).

I loved playing this game coz although I wasn't at all sporty for some reason I excelled at this !

Marbles - because you could end up taking home loads of captured marbles, but ran the risk of losing your own too

Willbbz

Marbles! Play for keeps so you could win and lose your favorite marbles :-)

Conkers, (dipped in varnish :p)

Headers and Volleys.

Keep the ball off the ground by heading and volleying it between a group of kids. The bonus is, this game is still fun as adults!!

"The Creeling game" - basically the entire school would play this game at lunch and whoever was running with the ball, the whole school was after them trying to "creel them" ... The principle banned it after but it was so funny to play at the time

One Touch football, but football's weren't allowed so we had to use a tennis ball, great skill required, which some of us were unfortunately lacking !

Bulldogs Charge.

Could really draw out bed times by playing that as long as there was light. 

Corkman64

Tip the Can - One of the most fun and simple games and I wish I could still play it. Teachers eventually banned it in our school as there were a few "minor" accidents.

Football

We would play football everyday all day and use 2 jumpers as goals.

We would run and run it would be great to be fit again

shivie

Hide and Seek because I knew a few good spots

Red arse, nothing else comes close for me.
