Looking
for kids games? How about rules for playground games, verses
for jump-rope rhymes, and much more??? You have come to right
place! We have listed lots of new games recently and are in
the process of giving the site a makeover! We hope this site brings
you lots of happy memories.
You can
view the games in a number of ways:
UNINDEXED GAMES
Here are a number of unindexed games, over 250 more

NOTE ON SAFETY AND APPROPRIATENESS
- Occasionally I receive concerns about the appropriateness and
safety of some of these games, and opinions that certain games
should not be on the site. After much thought and
deliberations, I have decided to keep all the games on the
site.
- Some of the games (many of them in fact), can cause minor
physical injury, including Red Rover, Dodge Ball, and others.
However, most have been played by children for many years, and in
my opinion, minor injuries are part of growing up. Therefore
I have decided to keep them and allow the reader to determine if
they want to play.
- Some of the games have stereotypes in them that were once
tolerated but are now no longer appropriate. Keeping in mind
one of the purposes of the site is to be a historical record, I
will keep them on the site, but will be going through the list and
adding a notation that the words used are no longer
appropriate. (For instance Chinese School). Please keep
in mind that originally in these games no harm was intended to any
group, but our awareness level has improved significantly in recent
years.
BURNING QUESTIONS...
Occasionally, someone will ask a game related question, and I
don't have a clue what the answer is. If you know the answers to
any of the following, let me know!
1- Where did the name of the game 'Marco
Polo' come from. I've gotten frustrated questions
from several folks who have actually done college-level research
trying to find the answer, but all have failed...
I have posted some of the answers to these and
other questions that I have gotten so far. It's an
interesting mix...
