Bounce Eye
Bounce Eye is believed to have been created by early Australian settlers in the late 1700s. The game requires 3-4 players, and 3 marbles for each player.

Use a piece of chalk to draw a one-foot circle on a sidewalk. Each player puts two marbles in the center of the chalk circle. The first player stands up straight and drops a marble (from eye level) trying to knock the other players' marbles out of the circle.

If any marbles are knocked out, they become the property of whoever knocked them out. Each player has a turn, until all of the marbles are knocked out of the circle. The player with the most marbles at the end wins!

What Time is it Mr. Wolf?

One player is the wolf and he/she will stand with his/her back turned to the others about 5 meters from the others. The others call out, "Whats the time Mr. Wolf" and the wolf turns to face the others and shouts out a time. Eg: 10 o'clock. The others would then take 10 steps toward the wolf. The group will take the same amount of steps toward the wolf as the amount of hours in the wolfs time. eg, 2 o'clock = 2 steps, 6 o'clock = 6 steps etc. etc. The wolf will then turn his back to the group again for them to yell "whats the time...." (He looks at the group only when he shouts the time at the group". When the group gets close to the wolf the next time the group yells "whats the time Mr. Wolf" the wolf will say 'DINNER TIME" and run after the group who are running back to the start line, and hopefully catch one of the group who will then be the wolf. It sounds messy, but when played is an enjoyable game.

Stuck in the Mud

In this version of Tag, one person is still "it", but when they touch someone, that person is "frozen" in place. They cannot move and must stand with their feet apart. The only way they can become unfrozen is if a person crawls under their legs. Play continues until all the players are frozen. Then the last person to be frozen is "it" for the next game.

Cricket

You have a bat a ball and wickets. They play "one dayers" but can last up to 6 days. Instead of a "pitcher" it's called a "bowler"
