Ha ha any sports - I’m just not made for it - too short for most and seriously I’m not coordinated not a good combo !! Lucky for me we mainly played volleyball in gym - except for Square Dancing (sport ??) again coordination - you would not have wanted me as your partner - I always went the wrong way !! drove my teacher nuts - still have that issue to this day - not sure why
I’m more of a Board Game person - certain ones thou couldn’t be played in our house - Monopoly wasn’t it - that one was fairly fine - Game Of Life - ah nope - Sorry - ah nope - Aggravation - mostly no - we had an adult sore looser who often threw the Board and games - I learned not to play games with him ! As adult I won’t play those games but will happily play just about any other board game or cards
But please don’t ask me to do real sports I can’t help you unless I need to bring water & snacks - then I’m your person I’ll kill it on that !!!

I have Boggle from when my kids were young. I play Boggle with my 8 year old granddaughter and soon with my other grandchildren (they are still too young). The three oldest ones (including my granddaughter) also love playing hangman .

This is why I say there is something for everyone with everything and we have to try it ourselves first. One person's love is another's hate

Ghost in the Graveyard . That used to scare the crap out of me. Somebody looking for me in the dark, no thank you, but it was a popular neighborhood game.

Dodge ball and Red Rover

I loved playing dodge ball in gym. Jump in front of the first pitch from the opposing team and get to sit out for the rest of the game. My friends and I were pros at it.

7 up. I was never picked.

Red Rover was the first thing that came to my mind.

Softball. It's a fine game. My two nieces play it. I have traumatic memories of always being put on first base by the gym teacher (who always pitched.) A kid would hit the ball, the gym teacher would catch it after a bounce, and then throw it to me for the out. I *never* caught the freaking ball. It was like the ball avoided me on purpose. I hated gym so much.

Kids in my neighborhood used to play horses. One person was the trainer who had to chase the horses, catch them with a jump rope and put them in the corral. It was fun except when Wendy from down the street was the trainer. She wouldn’t just loosely toss the jump rope around you and lead you to the corral. She would rope you around the ankles and pull as hard as she could until she literally pulled your legs out from under you. I learned pretty quickly that if Wendy was the trainer, it was time to go inside to the bathroom.

How can you play Boggle? You would make the first move but then never respond?

I was small but quick and agile. I was much better in dodge ball.
