Think wayyy back to a time LONG ago! What activities if any (jungle gym, basketball, etc.) did your grade school have for you to do during recess outside? Details please?

My fifth grade teacher would either kick a kick ball or hit a baseball and a group of us would catch it for points......

Maybe I had it better than I thought. I remember a jungle gym we climbed on, "tether ball," kick ball, dodge ball, a basketball hoop, and a think about 10 of us got on that was huge and round and spun around. A few kids got hurt falling off of it so they took it out, but it was fun. EDIT: Riff-Raff reminded me we had about 3 sets of swing sets also! But the guys did not do them much.

A jungle gym and 'adventure playground' above concrete. Really just 3 or 4 sets of bars and a pole. It was really dangerous. I remember kids getting concussion and 'magic cream' to fix it all the time.

hopscotch, playground swings, running around, jacks

we had swings, basketball hoops, hopscotch, we also played games with balls, like dodge, and a game called 4 square, where 4 players hit the ball back and forth and tried to get someone out. that was a favorite. kids stood in line for their turn. jumprope was fun also with a long rope and two kids turned it and sometimes they would mix up the ropes and you tried to run thru and jump.

Swings. Sometimes baseball and softball. Nothing organized. This was early 1940s.

Four square, tether ball, hopscotch, swings, jungle gym. Sometimes we would play softball, volley ball, or dodge ball, which I dreaded. >:-p

A rusty old set of monkey bars, a coupld of dodgeball walls, and a swingset. Recess often turned into quite the brutal affair, luckily I didn't go to that school for very long.

We only had a basketball court. SOme of us would bring a tennis ball so we could play 'punchball'.

we had basketball, soccer, football, 2 swing sets, 2 jungle gyms, four square, a mini track, and there was a painted map with different colors for each state

Run, play football, dogdeball, and tag. Mainly run like idiots, and sometimes on the little play castles. Wow, when I think back on it, those were some great times.
