Red Rover

Does anyone ever play Red Rover any more? It was one of my favorite games at Dwight School. It was actually an ego booster for me because it was a popularity contest mainly. I loved to be called! I was a fairly heavy child (not fat, just a big girl), and I ALWAYS broke through. We also played freeze tag, football, softball, Who stole the cookie?, and hide and seek. Normally, I hated games with running (because big girls don’t run) but I did love Red Rover. I always felt sorry for the kids we clotheslined. Wasn’t pre-puberty fun??
