Pull a bag

You need to find an open space three or four meters long and more than two meters wide, draw a white line on the outside about two meters wide, and then sew a two-inch square cloth bag with some sand or mung beans in it, but don't put too hard stones to avoid hurting people.

How to play: This game can be played by three or four people. The three-person play is a person standing outside two lines with a bag chopped, and a person standing in the middle facing the person with a bag. After the game started, the person who took the bag dragged it to the middleman, but she was not allowed to catch it. As long as the person in the middle fails to catch the bag three times, she loses, so she will "step down" and be replaced by the person who cuts the bag. If the chopped person catches the chopped bag, she will get one point every time. The four-person game is divided into two groups, two people stand in the middle of the line, and the chopping rules are the same. Both of them were cut losers, "stepping down", and the other group was cut on stage.

This kind of game not only makes children keep fit, but also is an intellectual competition, because the person in charge of cutting the bag should try to cut the bag in the part that is difficult for the middleman to receive, and the person standing in the middle should turn around and hide the bag as flexibly as possible, and squat down and jump at any time, on the one hand to prevent cutting, on the other hand, to receive the bag. This game not only exercises the body outdoors, but also deepens the feelings between friends, from which we get great fun.

Rubber band skipping rope

Rubber band jump, also called monkey rubber band jump. It is one of girls' favorite games, which was popular from 1950s to 1970s. This game only needs to prepare a pair of long rubber bands. Rubber bands come from rubber or waste bicycle inner tubes and are twisted into slender strips. It can also be connected by some small rubber bands (mostly from the rubber bands tied to the bottle mouth at that time).

How to play: Three to five people can play together or play in two groups. Singing and dancing at the same time is very interesting. First, two people each take one end to stretch the rubber band, and the others take turns to jump and act according to the regulations. The winner is king. If the rubber band is wrong or not hooked halfway, another person will jump. The way to jump is that the height of the rubber band starts from the ankle to the knee, from the waist to the chest to the shoulder, and then to the top of the ear, and then it becomes more and more difficult to lift the "small lift" and "big lift". Jumpers hook rubber bands with their feet (without hands) and sing their own songs while jumping. I remember the song that girls often sang at that time: "Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang, you are bleeding for the revolution, traitor and traitor Zhigao Pu, you are a big loser." "Learn from Li Xiangyang and never surrender. When the enemy comes to get me, I will jump over the high wall. If the high wall doesn't work, I will drill a hole in the ground and shoot a bullet in the hole to kill the Japanese. " "A red flower is red. Sister Liu Hulan is a hero. She was a bitter child since childhood and became a heroine when she grew up. "

This kind of singing and dancing rubber-jumping game not only strengthens children's physique in amusement, but also learns the lofty quality and revolutionary thought of heroic martyrs through songs written and sung by themselves, so that children can grow up morally, intellectually and physically.

Grabbing sheep monster

Catching sheep is also a game that girls like to play. The so-called "crutch" is the common name of the ankle bone of the sheep's hind leg. It is a hexahedron with smooth and irregular surface, and four groups of protrusions can stand up. Usually prepare four. The children washed them and dyed them red or green. In addition, we should sew a cloth bag more than one inch square, which contains mung beans or pebbles.

How to play: Generally, there are 2 to 4 people attending, often on the steps under the eaves of quadrangles or at the small dining table. At that time, there were many different rules of the game. A common way to play is to grasp four sheep crutches in your hand, scatter them on the ground with a turn of your wrist, and grab the bag at the same time. Then when throwing the bag, straighten the crutch or press it down in order, and then the bag can't land. Finally, we should grasp the sheep crutch and the cloth bag at one time, indicating that we have won. If you don't pick up the cloth bag or take the crutches in the usual order at a time, you lose.

This game makes the children devote themselves wholeheartedly, which not only exercises the adaptability of the mind, but also makes the children's wrists flexible and skilled. Grabbing sheep in circles used to be all the rage, which made girls happy and grew up in cultivating interest.

Pumped gyroscope

Gyro games have a long history. According to the book A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital, this game has been popular since the Ming Dynasty. Gyro is a cone shaped like a funnel, with a round top and a sharp bottom, and a small steel ball at the top. In order to look good, you can also draw a few circles on the top, which will look good. In addition, you need to make a whip, that is, use a small wooden stick about two feet long and tie a rope, thin leather strip or cloth strip at one end of the stick.

How to play: When playing, first wrap the rope of the whip around the gyro several times, and then put the gyro on the flat ground to make the steel ball rotate on the ground. The player should whip it with a whip to keep it rotating. Some children who are good at playing can play two or three gyroscopes at the same time by one person, or two or three people can play one gyro at the same time, and the winner is the one who turns for the longest time.

Gyro pump is a popular boy's game in the 1940s. At that time, children in old Beijing called it "drawing traitors" because the Japanese occupied Beijing at that time and many traitors helped them. They are as annoying as the Japanese devils, so the common people take advantage of the gyro to vent their anger and say, "Smoke traitors, fight traitors, fight Japan, fight traitors." "Smoke traitors, fight traitors, and the veneer will rise 1000." To ease the resentment in my heart.

Gyro is an outdoor game suitable for children and worth popularizing.

Bump and turn

Bumping people is a very interesting game, and both boys and girls can take part in the "battle". Just choose a flat land and chalk out a few circles about one meter on the ground as "positions".

How to play: This game can be played one-on-one or in groups. One-on-one doubles is to stand one person in two laps on the ground, and each person should grab one of his ankles with one hand, roll up this leg, leaving only the other leg to jump and walk on the ground. At the beginning of the game, one person goes out of the circle to "attack" and one person guards the "position". The attacker jumps to the edge of the opponent's circle, and two people collide with each other with their knees, but they can't push and pull with their hands. When they are knocked out of the circle (position) or the other leg touches the ground, they are defeated. If the attacker is knocked down by the defender, the attacker is defeated. Then take turns to be an "attacker" or a "defender". If many people fight in two groups, the winner thinks that the attackers are all defeated when they still hold their ground and are not knocked out of the circle.

Both sides should be quick-witted, calm and brave in this game, which is the key to winning. This touch game can exercise children's body, confidence and perseverance in a laugh.

Invite people to cross the river

Remember a game of "inviting people to cross the river". This game is also accompanied by beautiful tunes, and it is very interesting to sing and play.

How to play: Divide everyone who participates in the game into two teams, each with 4 to 6 people, or more. First draw two straight lines on the flat ground with chalk, leaving a width of one meter between the two lines, which is also called "river". At the beginning of the game, both teams stood behind two lines. First, both teams held hands and waved their arms while walking back and forth. At the same time, they sang together: "We invite someone! We invite someone! " The other team followed closely, holding hands and dancing, and asked, "Who did you invite? Who are you inviting? " The team sang "We invite XXX (the name of the other team)! We invite XXX? " The invited team sang again, "Who will compete with her? Who will compete with her? " The invited team replied to sing "XXX (the name of a member of our team) and compete with her! Xxxx came to compete with her! " After singing, the players of the two teams stand at the back edge of their respective lines, and their legs and feet can't cross the line. After shaking hands, they pulled each other hard with one hand, but not with both hands. The other two teams shouted "Come on, come on" to encourage their players. The two men see who can pull each other out of each other's white line, cross the "river" and pull to their own team line, and win. Then the other team is the inviter, singing and dancing according to the same rules, and inviting each other back and forth until the first team pulls all the other players across the river, which is the winner.

The trick of playing this game is that the inviter should choose a "big shot" with greater strength, older age and better technology, and the invitee should choose a weaker one in the team. This game is very suitable for primary and secondary school students. It's interesting and can exercise children's arm strength, perseverance and courage.

to roll a hoop

Rolling hoop is a popular game among boys in the 1940s and 1950s. The iron ring is a kind of iron ring about one foot long, about one centimeter thick, and the iron hook is more than one foot long.

How to play: Choose a horizontal field, the player hooks the iron ring with the iron hook in his hand, and pushes it from one end of the field, so that the iron ring will not fall down and roll forward until it reaches the end of the field. The roller ring can also be played by two or three people, without falling halfway, and the one who reaches the finish line quickly wins.

This game needs some skills when pushing and rolling, and it needs to master the balance of power. Playing this game can make children exercise perseverance and arm strength while running, which is a fitness exercise suitable for children.

Choose a champion

Choosing the championship in old Beijing is also called choosing "president" and "leader". This is a game that children like to play in hutongs or physical education class in the 1940s and 1950s. Toys can be prepared as long as a volleyball or a big ball. I remember that the author had a rubber balloon when he was a teenager and often played this game with his neighbors' friends.

How to play: There is no limit to the number of participants. First, divide into two groups. One group stood in a big circle outside, and the other group stood in a circle. After the game started, the children in the outer circle threw the ball inward in turn. Every person who hits an inner circle will quit the circle after being hit, and the person who has not been hit many times back and forth is the "champion". Then the outer ring and the inner ring switch venues and start over.

This game is a very beneficial outdoor game. Children exercise during hitting, and their brains quickly dodge the hit ball.
