       > One person was the designated the ghost and he went and hide
       somewhere along the designated route around the house to the
       safe spot. Then we all went as a group on that route. We all
       would chanted as we went "one o'clock and the ghost ain't here,
       two o'clock and the ghost ain't here" and so on till the ghost
       jumped out and tried to catch someone. The person caught became
       the ghost for the next round. Silly game, but it was suspenseful
       and exciting for a small kid.
       > In the winter we had a game called  "Fox and goose". Where we
       made paths in the snow. A maze. It had dead ends in some of the
       path ways.  One person was the fox and the rest geese. The fox
       chased after the geese until he caught one. and then that person
       was the fox. The only rule..
       > There was also "Red rover" You could never run out of  a
       pathway.
       > And of course Kick the Can"
       > And then there was "King of the mountain" in the winter on the
       huge pile of snow next to the church and school parking lot.

       That kind of reminds me of Statue. You need a buyer and some
       kids to be statues. The buyer would sing a song and the statues
       would dance. Then the buyer would stop singing and the statues
       would freeze. Then the buyer goes around and picks the statue
       who has the coolest position. Then that person would be a buyer.

       I handed a little boy a girl doll and a boy doll. He had them
       fight and holler out "I want a divorce!"
