I'll add, capture-the-flag, Red-Rover and a favorite, Ping Pong. :-) thanks for bringing up some of my favorite memories ... childhood. Bill

I am dying to know what kill-a-maroo is.

Ha, ha! Kill-a-ma-roo is a brutal version of football where you try to kill the guy who has the ball, who tries to run away from everyone -- and never succeeds. Once you have him down, you literally gouge and (almost) dismember him until he coughs up the ball, and the next sucker/'hero' picks it up. I played it until about age 10. When it got seriously dangerous, I stopped (chicken that I truly am).

I did not play any baseball games. The others, oh yes! I really love the ending on this. It draws the reader in. I like it, ***** 5 stars! Panagiota xxx
