Yes red rover was a classic.
Releivio
Tip the can.

Bulldog
Rounders
45

Never heard of releivo

Releivio basically was say two teams of 5.
One group waited whilst the other one hid.
If a lad was caught be brought back to team a base and if u could get to that base and relieve the caught lad the game continued.
A bit like capture the flag I suppose

45 was similar so without teams. Fella at base counted to 45 and everyone else hid. He goes looking and the lads hiding have to time it right to run out to get back to base if you’re called out you’ve to run.

Some amount of spoofing went on because you weren’t supposed to call out unless you could see someone

All the birds then wanted to play queenie eye oh.

Queenie eye oh who has the ball,
Is she big, or is she small
Is she fat or is she skinny,
Queenie eye oh who has the ball

Then they’d read the fuck out of each other

Just so you’re aware we’re going to get pelters for this little exchange off the lads who spent their childhoods tipping cows and worrying sheep

We had that but I think we called it 40/40. First fella who made it back to the base without being caught shouted “40 40 I free all” .

Good idea on Ryan Tubridy snow this morning to control kids at home all day eating shite* that I have adapted and improved

Create a tuck shop and open it twice a day and make pretend money they can spend in it if they behave they get more pretend money

Deece Dad skills

  • just say no is also an option for the curmudgeonly fuckers

Don’t buy the stuff in the first place. If it’s there they’ll want it, if it isnt they wont
