We played it here in Massachusetts in elementary school and middle school. And even a little bit in high school I think but maybe not. We didn't play that often though I don't think.

And freshman year of high school I got hit in the face playing handball LOL

I got a thumb to my eye just before Senior pictures! Had a nice shiner!

we played tag... I had heard of tether ball....don't think I played it.

I climbed trees and ran through construction sites and back alleys, playing "dodge the drunk that lives in a cardboard box".

In school we played kick ball, dodge ball, tag, red rover, hide and seek, jaxs (LOTS of jax), and marbels, LOTS of marbels.

There was also hopscotch, and jump rope.

My faves were jax and marbels and kickball.....and running through the neighborhood climbing on fence tops and roofs.

We played a lot of those same games

Also red light green light and that big huge balloon/tarp thing?

wait a minute!

Now you messed up the whole "where do kids play 4 square"!!

It had been starting to sound like northerners play it.

Did all of y'all play marbels?

 

[Bunnylady]

Marbles? Oh, yeah - but if my mother thought anybody was playing for "keepsies," she'd keepsie them herself.

Never heard of 4 square before, though I think I may have seen a grid painted on playground blacktop somewhere along the line and not known what it was for.

but but, but!!! what is the point of playing if there is no risk of the other player getting all of your best marbels???
