All we had was a big plain yard with no playground equipment or footballs or anything like that to keep us occupied. So we played a game called "build up", a variation on tip chase, where when one person was tipped he'd be 'on' in addition to the first person (rather than being 'on' instead of him). Also each end of the playground was the safe zone where you weren't allowed to get caught. There's probably lots of different names for it in other places. It might sound a bit boring but honestly I'd say it was the most fun I've ever had.
What kind of outside games did you play as a kid during recess?
