It's a question that you must have asked yourself at one point in your life or another. Probably after pulling your head out of the toilet bowl, remembering the little rhyme about drinking wine on top of beer, and then feeling rather poorly again. You might have asked that question while standing naked in the pouring rain holding a coathanger in one hand and a rather large purple sex toy in the other, trying desperately to break into your own car while two policemen stroll up the street towards you. Perhaps you asked it while flushing the contents of your pockets and incinerating your hard drive, or after putting your life savings on "red 36," or while washing the urine out of your clown suit.

However, this time, you mean it literally. Or rather, you would, if you had gotten around to asking that question. How did I end up here? Club Penguin - Waddle around and meet new friends!

Child's Game: Elastics. BBC - h2g2 - Playground Games. Some people, when they remember their schooldays, will wander off in a trance and eulogise about those halcyon times when life was simple. Others have consigned that era to a deep and dark corner of their mind. However, there is one particular aspect of our schooldays that many of us recollect with affection and that is the games we used to play in the schoolyard. Those dinner-time activities that gave us the chance to get together and have fun - albeit for a short while between lessons. Below you will find a selection of your favourite schoolyard games from past and present. Wallball or Suey This is a classic American game that requires nothing more than a wall, some sort of tennis ball, and a group of people.

Walley Here's an English version of the above which requires a soccer ball and a wall. There is another form of this game called handball in which the people all have to hit the tennis ball with their open hand against the wall. Red-Eye One would win at Red-Eye by not losing. Rules. Chinese jump rope - Elastics - Gummitwist. Chinese jump rope being played. Chinese jump rope (Chinese: 跳皮筋; pinyin: tiàopíjīn) is a Chinese game resembling the western game of hopscotch. The game is typically played by three players (although more can participate) with a rope (or, more frequently, a string of rubber bands) of about 5–6 feet in length that has been tied into a circle. Two of the participants (holders) face each other about 3 feet apart, with their feet together, and position the rope around their ankles so that it is taut.

The third player (the jumper) then stands between the two sides of the rope and must accomplish a specific series of moves without making an error or pausing. The game begins with choosing the jump pattern to follow and with the holders holding the rubberband around their ankles. There are many jump patterns and most are accompanied by a song. This is sometimes called the "first level". The moves involve jumping and repositioning the feet in some manner. Worldwide[edit] See also[edit] Jumpsies. Eggars Village.
