Games From Lingboskolan
Lingbo, Sweden
My name is Leif Murhagen and I am a teacher in Lingbo in the middle of Sweden. I work in a small school, only 40 pupils. We have tried to describe a game, that the children play . Both boys and girls (8-12 years) play it in the seasons, when they canīt play soccer and baseball. I send the text in a file written in MS Works, and I hope you can read it. We would be grateful to get other games back.
Good Bye
Jump like a crow
You continue like this until only one is left and all the other are standing along the wall.
The one who is left shall throw the ball in the wall three times and catch it without dropping it to the ground. If you drop it, all who are a standing along the wall must run and try to touch you. You must change places with him/her. If you catch the ball three times, you shall give it to the one who first must stand along the wall. He/she shall throw the ball so it bounces on the wall over his/her head. It should not be easy for the one who is left, to catch the ball. If he/she manages to catch the ball you continue and do the same with all who are standing along the wall. If he/she doesnīt catch the ball, he/she must change places with the one who threw the ball.
If nobody standing along the wall manages to come out, must the one who is left throw the ball in the wall three times again. This time he/she must clap his/her hands before he/she catches the ball. Then you go on as you did before. You go on until someone comes out. Every turn you do, you clap your hands once more before you catch the ball.
When one or many persons come out, they start from the beginning. The one who is left is the Champion.
