The rest of the group 'run out' while the guard closes their eyes and counts to 50. The guard has to spot people and touch them before anyone can touch the home base. Any person that is touched by the guard is out and cannot help others. Anyone who makes it to Home Base can help the others by distracting the guard. ORIGINS Do you know the origins of this game!

You will need a brown paper bag. Lighter or matches. Bad neighbour. ie grumpy old gits or nasty people who deserve it. Find some dog poo. Scoop up the poo into the bag. Easiest way is to turn the bag inside out and put your hand inside like a glove then grab the poo and seal it inside. Put the poo in front of the victims (bastards) door. Make sure there is no mat or other fire hazard as you don't want to set fire to their house or stuff. Set fire to the bag and ring the doorbell or knock on the door. Run like a stupid person as fast as you can. Hiding behind some wall or tree or neighbours garden, watch as they come out and start stamping on the bag to put out the fire. hehehe wankers.

One of you grab a wheelie bin and the other gets ready to knock on the door. You put the bin leaning on the door with the handles facing the door then the other person knocks and runs behind a tree or nearest garden or wall. Make sure the bin has lots of rubbish in it so all the rubbish falls in their house. 1 bin with lots of rubbish. Two or more people. AND DONT FORGET TO RRRUUUNNN!

They have to wait for the other people who are playing to hide. When everybody is ready they shout ready or once 'Dr Death has counted to a set number they shout coming ready or not). Dr Death must search the place and shoot anyone they find while everyone tries to get out without Dr Death seing them. The first person Dr Death shoots is Dr Death in the next game.

They have to keep their head pointing straight and can't make sharp turns. They cannot run. All other players hide behind vehicles on the street while 'it' counts to 30. 'It' walks around the street, trying to spot hiders who are moving around cars and such to keep from being seen. When or if spotted, players must follow closely behind 'it.' Fellow players must try to wave at follower(s) of 'it' to free them. Once waved at, they can stop following and hide again. The round is over when 'it' finds all hiders.

The person whose stick landed closest to the tin was "on". The other players had to run in and pick up their stick and replace it on the tin and shout "Canny. canny. canny. canny 123." The player who was "on" had to throw the ball and hit the players before they could complete this, If you were hit you took no further part until the game was over. This could be a painfull game depending on what type of ball was used ie tennis or cricket!

The bowler has a tennis ball and throws it (under arm) towards the hitter who holds the swimming float ready to bat. The hitter smacks the ball and tries to get the ball over the other side of the pool. If it gets all the way over the opposite side of the pool you get 6 runs automatically. If it is still in the pool then someone on the bowlers team has to get it and throw it back to the bowler. The hitter has to jump in the water and swim to where the bowler stands and they get a run. If the ball is caught by any of the bowlers team then the hitter is out. If the ball is thrown back to the bowler before the hitter has made his run then the hitter is out. This continues until the all the hitters are out. Once all the hitters are out then everyone switches and the bowlers team becomes the hitters and hitters become the bowlers.

Thank you. 3 0 Can be played with just two but has more effect when playing with 5 or more. This was my favourite game, I liked playing the fugitive. One person is the fugitive. The rest are the trackers. The Fugitive is given chalk and then runs out. The group count to 100 and then start to give chase. The Fugitive MUST draw an arrow every time they change direction. They can hide the arrows anywhere as long as they DO draw an arrow somewhere. The group must find the arrows or listen for the fugitive and catch them before they make it home. The group can split up but must stay in groups of at least two or three. http://www.streetgames.co.uk/games.php?article=5 2008-07-20 16:36:11 16 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:36:00 GMT ORIGINS Do you know the origins of this game!
