All the kids wearing blue could stroll across safely, but if you weren't wearing blue, you had to dodge and run while Mr Crocodile tried to catch you. If you got caught you were out.
The last person to survive would be the next Mr Crocodile. In our school we have an adventure playground. We have turns on going on it and usually squabble over it, but then a member of staff comes over to the adventure playground to sort us out!!!! We play with different shaped soft balls in our playgrounds. Football is very popular but we also enjoy playing catch and trying to improve our basket ball skills.
Back to the top Queenie, Queenie A person is picked to be the "queenie," and that person turns her back to everyone else. The "queenie" then throws the ball over her shoulder and one of the other players needs to catch it or pick it up.
Everyone, except the "queenie", puts their hands behind their backs so that the "queenie" doesn't know who has the ball. The "queenie" then turns around and everyone shouts:. Are they short, or are they tall? Are they hairy, or are they bald? You don't know because you don't have the ball! The "queenie" has to guess who has the ball through a process of elimination. If the person with the ball is the last one to be picked, that person becomes the new "queenie.
To make it more difficult for Queenie to guess who has the ball, the children all keep their left hand behind their back and show the right hand, then put the right hand behind and show the left hand as they as they say the chant.
They keep on swapping hands. This game used to play with small rounded stones but today we play it with plastic or metal jacks.
To decide who starts, a player throws five jacks into the air with one hand and tries to catch as many as possible on the back of the same hand. The jacks that were caught are then thrown up again from the back of the hand where they came to rest and as many as possible are caught in the palm of the same hand. The other players do the same and the player who catches the most jacks starts, play continuing in a clockwise fashion.
The first player starts the game by throwing the five jacks on the ground and then picking up the ball. The player throws the ball up, picks up one jack with the same hand and then catches the ball before it hits the ground. The jack is then put into the other hand. This is repeated until all the jacks have been picked up. The player then throws the jacks back on the floor and starts again, but this time, two jacks must be picked up each time except for the third and final throw when, obviously, only one jack is picked up.
Once this is achieved successfully, the player starts again but this time with three jacks and then again with four jacks and finally the ball is thrown up and all five jacks are picked up at once before the ball is caught. When the player misses the ball or does not manage to pick up the required number of jacks, the turn immediately finishes and the next player has a try. The player who manages to progress furthest in the sequence of throws wins.
Five Stones Keith Davison sent an email to tell us about again he used to play at school. It is similar to our Jacks game. I never actually played jacks but 5-stones was similar; this is how it was played Back to the top Oranges and Lemons This is a game based around an old English children's song, called 'Oranges and Lemons', about the sounds of church bells in various parts of London.
This is how it is played. Two children form an arch with their arms. They determine in secret which of them shall be an 'orange' and which a 'lemon'. Everyone sings the 'Oranges and Lemons' song see below. The other children in the game, take turns to run under the arch until one of them is caught when the arch falls at the end of the song. The captured player is asked privately whether they will be an 'orange' or a 'lemon' and then goes behind the original 'orange' or 'lemon' team leader.
The game and singing then starts over again. At the end of the game there is usually 'a tug of war' to test whether the 'oranges' or 'lemons' are stronger. The game is similar to 'London Bridge is Falling Down'. Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey. When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch.
