12/6-12/10 Childhood Games

When I was younger, my brother and I used make up games to amuse ourselves. One game we liked to play when it was nice outside was called Killer Ball. The object of this game was to get the ball after it hit the roof in order to earn a point. We usually played this game when we had friends or cousins over because it was more fun to have teams. The game started by one person throwing the ball up on the roof. The roof at our house is slanted on the one side and somewhat low. Once in hit the roof and bounced off, it was fair game and every one battled to get it. There were NO RULES. We tackled, punched, pushed, shoved, tripped, and anything else just to get the ball. We usually played games up to 11 points. This game got pretty intense and sometimes people got hurt. All in all, it was a very fun, competitive game that we made up. Another game we used to play was sort of like dodgeball. When we moved into our news house, we were working on the play room. The play room was furnished, painted, and finished after everything else in the house was already complete. Before the room had everything in it, we would divide into teams when we had friends over and split the room in half. Each team took a half and they got to set up the furniture, pillow, and blankets to their liking. We also gathered tons of different soft balls to throw. The point of the game was to throw the balls and hit your opponent. If you hit your opponent, they lost the part of body that you hit them in but could still keep playing. It was so much fun to dodge behind the obstacles and watch other people play without legs or arms. Those are a just a few of the games that I liked to play when I was younger.
