Fezmid Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hide and Seek on the street? Sounds like a pretty easy game if you're confined to the street. Street hockey and street football (tried some lacrosse, but that was really hard!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjeff215 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 maybe not in the street, but ghost in the graveyard kick the can spud 878009[/snapback] I forgot about Ghost in the Graveyard. I actually lived right on Abbott, not much "in the street" fun for me. Used to play hockey at friends' houses, though. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 None, our street was a 55mph state road, on a hill, so people would come flying over the crest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Sammy use to play "peg the band geek". The goal of the game is to see how many eggs you can nail the marching band with as they march down your street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I used to play a game called "Go play in traffic" that my parents taught me. I never really enjoyed it that much, but my parents always always seemed to get a big kick out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 twouch football. Used to cut in between cars to receive a pass, and try to impale the defender on the fins of the vehicle. Also had a rule that if you hit the telephone wire on a pass you got the play over. Had a kid who could actually hit the wire at will and got a lot of free plays that way.

ajzepp Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I played wiffle ball baseball almost every damn day when I was a kid. We had our neighborhood game up to ten kids at one point. We used the wiffle balls that didn't have the openings in them....they were hard plastic and MAN could you ever go deep with those things. In HS we played tackle football just about every weekend...good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
