Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Someone is "it" and when they touch you, you can't move a muscle until someone else touches you.
2. There are two teams on opposite sides of the yard. You throw the ball at the other team and try to hit someone. Then the other team throws it back at you. You have to move really fast and jump out of the way because if you get hit, you're out. The team with no players left standing loses.
3. This game might not be so well-known. Everyone stands together around a person with the ball. He/she throws the ball high into the air and shouts another player's name. Everyone else takes off running except the person whose name is called. That person catches the ball and shouts "Freeze". Then, he/she gets three steps and throws the ball at someone. If they get hit, they get a letter. If the thrower misses, they get a letter. When someone gets all the letters of the name of this game, they are out. What is the name of this game?
4. We used to play this after dark. It's a lot like hide and seek but you use a common household object that the "it" person has to guard until they find a hidden person. Then it is a race to that object.
5. There are bases, a ball, two teams, and an outfield, but no bat or gloves.
6. One person stands a distance away from the rest of the players who are in a line, side-by-side. The single player tells one of the others to come forward a certain number of steps. That person must ask properly if they can advance.
7. One person stands a distance away from the rest of the players who are in a line, side-by-side. The single player asks everyone wearing a particular color to come over. Anyone wearing that color tries to run past him/her to the other side of the field without getting touched.
8. One person stands with their back to the rest of the players, who are all the way on the other side of the yard. He/she calls out for them to start. They can start walking as fast as they wish towards him/her. Then he/she calls out for them to stop, immediately turns around and if anyone is still moving, they are out.
9. We played this game like Button, Button, Who's got the Button, but there is another version where the object is hidden and everyone must find it. And when they do, leave it where it is, but run back to "home base" and shout a certain phrase. The last one to find it, is out.
10. When the "it" person touches you, you have to stop moving.
To be free someone else has to touch you and you have to call out something from this specific category. For example, when I was a kid, the first thing anyone ever called out was "The Brady Bunch".
