I remember those we used to throw them at the ground close to the girls shoes and the little stones in in the paper ball would hit their legs. Cost me five days detention in fifth grade.

This wasn't a game, however, does anyone remember when ball point pens came out in the 50's and it became a fad at school and of course you couldn't resist clicking them during class and the nuns at St Michaels would allow us to bring them to the classroom. I think it interfered with their "CLICKERS" LOL

There has to be more stories about your favorite games.
Around Oakley Playground in the 50's we liked to wrestle each other under the flag pole in front of the park. Mostly against our older brothers or anyone that challenged to a match. I guess we all thought we were "Killer Kowalski" or "Vern Ganja"
