Passed down from one generation of children to the next.
This is a list of my favourite games as a wee Jack.

What are some of your favourite childhood games?

Hide and Seek

Double Dutch

TV Tag
Regular TV Tag

Step 1

Gather a group of players and decide who is going to be the person who chases everyone else. This person is called "It."

Step 2

Run and try to stay away from the person who is "It." If they get close, yell out the name of a TV show and touch the ground. The player is now safe for 10 seconds and the "It" player needs to leave that player to tag others--no waiting around to tag the person when the 10 seconds are up.

Step 3

Avoid repeating a show you or any other player already mentioned. If a player can't think of a show or repeats the name of a show, the player becomes the new "It."
