A game I invented · 5th grade

Rocks & Metal.

A playground game my friends and I made up in fifth grade. Equal parts tag, parkour, and questionable judgment. It was so much fun, and it absolutely would not fly on a playground today.

The rules

The floor is wood.

Whoever was "it" could only travel across the rocks and metal parts of the playground, the bars, the chains, the climbing structures. Everyone else was safe on the wood.

To tag someone, "it" had to navigate the whole course without touching the ground. The result was a fast, ridiculous, slightly dangerous game we could not get enough of.
