Cats cradle was good, also there was a faze in junior school where people would tie bits of elastic together and 2 people would stand in the elastic and someone would jump in and out of the middle. There were different types of jumping in and out oh! one was 'jingle jangle centre sprangle jingle jangle out'
Actually, reading that rhyme back it looks proper dodgy
We played that too. But our rhyme was England Ireland Scotland Wales, inside outside monkey's tails..and for the end bit we had to jump on the elastics.
There was another cross-legged jumping game that we did that looking back on it involved a very racist kind of rhyme about a china man

Jumpers for goalposts shoving course led tonal sorts of argument.

We played jacks and the game up the wall with tennis balls....
My favourites though were 40/40 and British Bulldog
omg 40/40! There was a big gang of us who used to play that in the summer evenings. That and Relavio (sp) where if some one got back to Den before you, they could free the ones you'd already caught

Exactly katty That was a great tip you gave though - as soon as my back`s turned, it`s gone.
Oh and the tip I gave was melt some lard in a small bowl..add anything you want to it,seeds etc and put out for the birds when solid...
Blimey! Just noticed my post above. I know that some people use magic and trickery to look at the screen whilst typing. I can't.
Joe, I thought it was you being dead clever and using posh words I didn't know 
Big Skipping ropes ,I was great at backies.
I hated it when an ender chugged the rope.

We also played Farmer Farmer may we cross your Golden River.We would stand on the Pavement ,the Farmer would stand in the middle of the road.
Whoever was the Farmer said "Not unless you have Blue on"
(he/she could pick any colour)
If you had the colour you walk to the other side of the Pavement,if not, you had to get acrooss to the other side without the Farmer catching you .
Another Pavement game was kerbie.

Temps - I loved elastics - I always liked buying a bag of the multicoloured ones and actually enjoyed looping them all together. We used that rhyme but recited it as Scotland England Ireland Wales - regional
Gypsie - I loved playing balls - I also like to think I was pretty good, especially with one hand. (that sentence sounds really bad
Other games I remember are Red Rover, What's the Time Mr Wolf, and British Bulldog.

Knock Down Ginger
along with most of the above and the one where you had a ball on a length of washing line with a loop on the end and hop over it. Also a ball in a stocking or pair of tights - stand up against the wall and sort of swing it from side to side.
Jacks and Dabs - cigarette cards leant against the wall and you had to flick them down 'Flick ems' - and of course marbles.

Yes erin! You stotted the ball to the opposite side of the kerb to bounce back to you -and catch - hopefully!
Another pavement-to-pavement game was "statues".
Then the game with small blocks, you threw one in the air while picking up one from the ground, then catching the falling block.
We called it snobs.

I didn't know of Kerbie until my own son taught me it. I wasn't brought up round here!
Conkers, marbles, football, more football, a bit more football. When it was raining my mates came round and we played a board game called Wembley where you had to get a team to win the FA Cup and matches were decided on the roll of a dice. I've never seen such arguments in my life until I later played Risk as an adult. Board games are evil, you heard it here first.
Elastic or french skipping..
Thats elastic and you had to raise it higher and higher whilst doing all sorts of athletic stuff.

I can so believe it. My best mate didn't talk to me for a month because I took his last few territories when he had somehow imagined we 'agreed' to be allies lol. Six people in the flat playing the game. He didn't say a word just gave me that 'I can't believe you did that' look and walked out
No one played Doctors and Nurses?

oh yes! The multicoloured elastic bands you couldn't just use the brown ones. They bloomin hurt when they snapped though
NEVER play kerbs with a basket ball, I learned the hard way when it bounced back and smacked me in the face
