Re: Childhood games...

Have always been good at ball games myself. Tennis, rounders, netball and table-tennis. it's all to do with hand to eye coordination.
We used to play a game called Cannon at school that was very popular -a team game but with a ball. Had to build up your teams cannon made of three little sticks -bit like a wicket i suppose but the opposing team got you out if they hit you with the ball -a tennis ball.

Just remembered another one, used to put a tennis ball in a sock or stocking and knock it on the wall behind you (back to the wall) while singing rhymes and bashing the ball about over you shoulders, between legs etc -now what on earth was that called?!
