We all wanted to win Heads Up Seven Up.
In elementary school, I loved hopscotch and kickball. (Those red rubber balls from gym/P.E. were the best.)
In seventh grade, my math teacher let us play UNO if we’d finished our lessons and homework. We all worked extra hard to ensure this would happen as often as possible, and all became UNO masters.
What games did you like to play in school?

When I was subbing, I let the kids play mum ball. You have them all stand in a circle and catch and throw a ball to whomever they want, but they have to be totally silent. If they miss the ball or talk, they sit down. You can make the game harder as you go on, requiring the remaining players to catch and throw with one hand, put a time limit on how long they can hold the ball, etc.
oooh…I like that one! I may have to add a Koosh ball to my bag :)
Oh my gosh, I remember playing that! Had totally forgotten until now. I think we called it Silent Speedball.
I’m a sub and all kids, from kinder to high school, request Seven Up when lessons finished a few minutes early. One class was terribly disappointed when I pointed out that we couldn’t play Seven Up because there were only nine kids in class.
Lol, poor students!
Oh my. Heads Up Seven Up….. that brings back memories of waiting to be tapped and then trying to sneak a peek at who it was (which was tough with uniforms)…..
I liked Red Light, Green Light.. and was always interested in finding out where the breakdown in communication was in Telephone…
For as popular as it is in pop culture, I don’t I ever played Telephone in school.
Red Light Green Light was also pretty fun. I wonder if there’d be a way to combine it with Follow the Leader? Hmmm.
