Heh, lemme see...one that I always loved was Skelzies: you take bottlecaps and melt pieces of crayon in them (using an oven/toaster oven) to give them weight and to tell them apart, then you draw a square in chalk and seperate that square into four squares, then numbered them. After that you got...want to say 10-20 feet away and then flicked your bottlecap toward the squares. Whomever got the most points, won.
Then there was of course the streetwide games of tag, kickball, oh and wallball! Gosh I havent thought about that one in a long time. Group of kids get a tennis ball or a racketball (the racketballs were better) and went to a good long stretch of wall. Object of the game was to bounce the ball from the street onto the wall and then back at the kids. Whomever caught the ball threw it back, but if the ball hit you and you didnt catch it you had to run and touch the wall before someone scooped up the ball and pegged you with it.
Forts as well were fun, once made a really big one out of both my brothers and my own bed and spent the night "camping." That time wasnt so fun though...left a tiny lamp on all night without a lampshade, then come morning I got up, wasnt paying attention and the burning hot bulb fell on my thigh. Believe it was a second-degree burn from that one, and I had a scar for a good long time.
