What 1980's children's games do you remember?

I remember:
Red Rover-Red Rover, Red Rover, let _____(insert child's name) come over.
Simon Says
Mother May I
Tag
Cartoon Tag- had to think of a cartoon, or cartoon character, before someone was able to tag you.
Marko-Polo(spelling?)
etc.

Chinese jump rope and cat's cradle, things to tie you in knots.

I used to love playing Red Rover, Duck, duck, Goose, Chinese Jump-Rope, and Cartoon Tag. I would be so happy when we would play Red Rover or Duck, duck, goose in Gym class.

The big games that I played with my friends and family were Red Rover and Mother May I. I still play them with my little cousins. I'll probably sound like a dork but their still so much fun.

I always liked Connect Four. I'm not sure if that was an 80's game, though.

I"m not sure either, but I also liked that game.

Thanks for reviving this thread, -Kelly-!

All these playground games are making me nostalgic. Recess meant something back then. Playing on the jungle jim, dodgeball, basketball, even a simple game of hide and go seek...it was all about being a kid and enjoying life.
