A game played on the streets of New York, for as long as anyone can remember. It is called Ringolevio, and the rules are simple. There are two sides, each with the same number of players. There are no time limits, no intermissions, no substitutes and no weapons allowed. There are two jails. There is one objective." According to Stewart Culin, ''relievo'' became ''ring relievo'' and then ''ringoleavio''. A similar game, called ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Poison is a traditional children's game, a variant of the game of tag. Jessie H. Bancroft's 1909 book ''Games for the Playground...'' describes it as follows. Children form a ring clasping their hands around a much smaller "poison" circle drawn on the floor or ground. The player are trying to push or pull each other to step into the "poison". As soon as some players touch the "poison" circle, the other shouts "Poisoned!" and run for safety. The safety consists of finding a piece of dead wood, step on it. Safe children would shout "I am standing on the wood! You can't get me!" A part of fun is to try and run from one safe place to another. Players tagged while caught off the wood become poisoned themselves and join the catchers. The game ends when as many as possible become poisoned. A simpler version, sometimes played by Scouts Scouting or the Scout Movement is a youth social movement, movement which became popularly established in the first decade of the twentieth century ...

Marco Polo (game)
Marco Polo () is a form of tag played in a swimming pool. Rules One player is chosen as "it". That player, with closed eyes, tries to find and tag any one of the other players, relying on hearing to find someone to tag. The player who is "it" shouts "Marco" and the other players must all respond by shouting "Polo", which the "it" player uses to try to find them. If a player is tagged, then that player becomes "it". If "it" suspects that a player has left the pool, they can shout, "fish out of water!" and the player who is out of the pool becomes the new "it".

According to one whimsical explanation, "legend has it that the famed explorer didn't have a clue as to where he was going", this being reflected in the "it" player's behavior. Although water polo is another popular pool game, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
