As we all come from different places in time and space I thought it would fun to have a thread about games people used to play in the playground or at parties.
To get the ball rolling I will attempt to describe a game which we used to play when I was a boy called Eggy Peggy*.
The game is played by three or more players (the more the merrier I suppose if you like that sort of thing).
One person is designated the caller by some method.
He or she stands in front of the the others in the group who call :
"Eggy Peggy lost her leggy what by?"
The caller devises a means by which the unfortunate young lady became unipedal (eg Washing Machines).
The others huddle together and choose an example each from the group of things the caller chose (eg Bosch, Hotpoint, Maytag, Zanuussi) and a spokesperson for the group will call them all out.
The caller chooses one of the examples (eg Maytag) and the person who chose that example and the caller hop on one leg and attempt to knock each other to the ground.
The first one to fall over becomes the new caller and the process continues until the bell rings.
I wish I could play this game right now but it's 1:15 in the morning and I have only an owl for company.
