Remember Gym in elementary school and high school? What were your favorite games?

I personally loved floor hockey. As a hockey player, it was my one time where I got to "shine" in gym class. Yea... I know I was a geek.

As far as games I liked Pin Guard and Dodgeball

I LOVED playing flag football! Also I liked dodgeball because i was always so tiny I was great at it.

I absolutely HATED doing the Presidential Physical Fitness test (did anyone else have to these or was it just my school). I had barely any arm strength so I could never hold myself up when we had to do the hang thing. My time was always less than 3 secs and it was so embarrassing!

kick ball using the BIG bouncy ball (i think it was called crab ball where you have to have both feet and hands on the floor)

rope climbing (i always made it to the ceiling, and we would make fun of the fat kids that couldnt get but 2 feet up)

peg wall climbing

basketball

now they got cool things like rock climbing

Matball was my favorite game to play during elementary school gym periods-I was terrible at kicking the ball so when they'd finally let me walk to first base I'd sit there for the rest of the game.

(Behind my elementary school there was a tiny (although we thought it was huge) hill that we used to play King of the Hill on-that was probably my favorite game we'd play during recess.)

In middle school my favorite game was volleyball-I even joined our intramural teams & then later the intramural teams in high school because I liked it so much!

My favorite thing in grade school was when we did the parachute games...here's a list of some of them (Taken from a scouting site but we did many of the same ones, plus a few more that aren't listed.)

In junior high/high school I liked archery, dance, and badminton. I HATED volleyball.
