What'd You Do At Recess As A Kid?

[Karma]

I think my options were usually in the following order...and remember this was whether snow or sun.

1. Foot hockey (big craze in our school for it)
2. Soccer (I loved playing sports)
3. Basketball - We used to shoot against a VENTILATION thing because our school couldn't afford a net.
4. Red Ass (throwing the ball against a wall, catching it, whipping it at someone lol)
5. 4 Square

In the winter, me and my "crew" from back in the day used to play this game where everyone would get on a mountain of snow, and since our school's mountain stretched a REALLY long way (common, it's Canada), from one side of the school to another, we'd have a race to see who can get to the other side of the mountain the fastest. Of course, we were allowed to push and throw people off the mountain as well

Oh mannn, fun times.

We dont call #4 red ass, in NY we call it Suicide. We play with handballs and it was painful. I remember one time I pegged my friend right in the head and he got pissed. We almost fought over it. I mostly just played basketball in recess.

 

[Legacy]

Basketball, 2 square, and 4 square.

 

[Trip]

LOL, I was just playing red ass at lunch yesterday. Had a tennis ball and nothing to do, and one of us suggested red ass.

When I was in elementary school, we'd normally walk to McDonald's for lunch. Our school was also right behind a valley, so we'd take ten minutes to trek down and sit around there for 5 minutes, then climb back up. Good times.

And oh, my cheap ass school had to outdoor basketball court.

 

[Shard]

I played basketball everyday.

lol, I was reading this like wtf is a red ass? Then I finally realized our suicide is their "red ass".

In my younger days in Elementary, I played dodge ball, but as I got older I started playing basketball.

By age:

1. Red ass
2. Foot Hockey (we had a tournament at our school and we made a fake Stanley Cup at the end).
3. Basketball (we had no nets, so we shot against this metal sign that had the School's Code of Conduct on it).
4. Soccer
5. Basketball (with actualy nets).
6. Chilling

 

[umair]

At recess, they just gave out like 2 types of balls, a football and a basketball. We didn't have a basketball goal, so we used to play soccer with the basketball and sometimes we played football.

 

[AznxBaller]

Whats Foot Hockey?

Played mostly 4 corners/squares, basketball, all the variations of tag, kickball, red butt, and football in elementary school.

 

[miss3pointer25]

1. Four Square
2. Monkey Bars
3. Got Chased by Boys.

That's pretty cool though. We never had anything like that but sometimes, since there was rivalries between Grade 4, 5 and 6, we'd have inter-grade faceoffs to see who ruled the school. Of course Grade 6 won everytime (sometimes by being more agressive and cheating).

During the winter times, we'd pretend we were actually playing hockey by "putting the gloves down" and pretending to fight. We'd also actually check each other as well.

Actually, that just reminds me of another thing we used to do as a kid. During the really REALLY snowy times, we'd just go to the soccer feild and we'd start fighting each other; tackling each other in the snow, tripping each other, etc lol.

Yeah, as soon as high school came, all the sports stuff just died. High school's version of "fun" differs a lot from elementary. Before I couldn't sit in one place and just talk, now I love to just sit on the benches with my friends and talk and make jokes. I've never played sports during lunches in high school since like the first month of grade 9 when I'd play basketball in the gym at lunch.

It's basically what the name implies. Usually, the school would have a bunch of differnt "courts" and the courts would have one or two painted "nets" on them. If it was two nets, they'd be on opposite sides like soccer goals. You could also make posts out of hats or bagpacks or whatever you wanted if you couldn't find a court. To sum it up, it's basically soccer with a tennis ball on a much smaller court.

The goalies are allowed to use thier jackets to save the ball, as well as hats. When I used to play goalie, I'd ALWAYS use a hat to "rob" the shots or whatever. However, I'd also get my pants completely ripped apart at the knees from sliding everywhere.

I remember getting chased by girls sometimes when we used to play tag, but I was an extremely shy kid when it came to girls then. I'd talk to girls, but as soon as the matter of "liking" came, I'd get all shy. I remember this one girl used to always chase me cause she liked me, but then she'd catch me and I'd feel like I was really slow cause a girl caught me lol.

lol, It was made of toilet paper rolls (the cardboard crap that's left at the end) from art class and was pretty makeshift. But, it was hilarious, because somehow we were a 3rd grade group of 3 kids that beat everyone in the school (4th and 5th included).

I used to love rivalries from elementary school. For example, my grade had two "gangs" (

) of guy groups. I was in one and it was led by a certain guy, and there was another group and it was led by some other guy. We actually didn't like each other and would fight over foot hockey turfs, soccer turfs, etc. In fact, the two groups even had thier own sets of girls. The girls who hung out with our group wouldn't talk to thier group or thier group's girls and vice versa. Looking back, that is hilarious.

 

[Chutney]

I remember we used to have rivalries based on our homerooms. It was funny, because one year you'd hate a guy and the next year he'd be like your best friend.

One incident that I especially remember was in Grade 4, when we used to play soccer. One day everyone split up into teams based on race, because apparently one dude said a slur or something. Everybody was so pissed, but I spent the majority of recess trying to find out what team I was on, because both had people from my homeroom. LoL, I was so naive back then.

 

[Run BJM]

LMFAO at "red ass", we call it Butts Up around here. I wasn't a huge basketball fan until about 6th or 7th grade, before that I played football every recess, every day. We also played four square (with crazy rules), and classic tag/smear the queer/manhunt.

 

[bbwSwish]

Yup, it's called Butts Up here too. I usually played kickball, keep away, dodge ball, butts up, or tag. I remember me and my friend Cody used to think we were so cool and we would sometimes just flirt with all the girls. God I was dumb.

 

[Chutney]

In grade 11 I played hackeysack for a while. Basically everyone got in a circle and whoever dropped the sack lined on the wall and got whipped like Red Ass. Pretty painful but fun as hell.

<div class="quote_poster">Skillz Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">We dont call #4 red ass, in NY we call it Suicide.</div>

Yeah thats what we called it too.

Usually what I did was play Footy, Cricket or Basketball, anything to do with sports pretty much, loved my sports (still do)

 

[B.e.]

The last time I had recess was 4th grade, and we played kickball......

we used to amped to play and win against all the other classes to.

 

[Pakman]

1. Football

Oh man, I'm in the same boat dude. I'd get my "clip pulled" and I would lose my recess privileges all the time. I wasn't a bully or anything but I was really social and would always get in trouble for talking or getting out of my seat. It was like first you got your clip pulled, then you got a check in your red folder, and if you were still bad you went to the principal. I only had to go to the principal a couple times but I remember I'd always be getting my clip pulled and my folder checked.

I probably got it for talking too much like 1 time, but the rest were for not doing my homework. BS.... the teacher was fat and chinese too, but she always put me in the seating chart near this girl i liked. so it was all good.

My internet is WACK, sry for the doublepost, feel free to remove this post.

Look below to discover what I'd use to do.

I'd go home to take a sh*t.

home WC > school WC

I've NEVER used a school washroom to use # 2. Never will.

Hell, even when i go take a piss, i use my foot to flush. I'm hygenic like that..

<div class="quote_poster">authentiq Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I've NEVER used a school washroom to use # 2. Never will.</div>

Yeah, same here. You just go into the bathroom and you see nothing but piss all over the seats. Even if you clean it the thought is still nasty. I'd rather wait until I get home for #2 .. or go outside behind the school yard with some TP.
