Thanks for that :) I am going to look some of these games up to show my daughter how to play them because I don't remember that much. But I know she would enjoy it as I did as a kid.

Yes, there are rules, and I don't remember anyone ever getting hurt (though I must say - it is not for the feint on heart). My kids still play 4 square, hopscotch and all sorts of other games outside, but sometime they need to be reminded of the more tame ones like fox it he hen house, freeze tag, blob, or fox and squirrel. I know my kids see so much violence today of TV and movies that they don't see right off that "light sabers" against each other is a recipe for injury. But then again, I played Wall Ball.
