  Simple pleasure...

  Did anyone ever play squares? You designate a smallish play area and kick a football. You can only touch the football once and then someone else has to touch it. It was half about keeping the ball into play as a team, but half about trying to put someone in a position of letting the ball out of the area or accidentally kicking it twice. The pack would turn on one person and get them out, then someone else would be picked until there were only two left.

  There was also a game on bikes where you'd designate a fairly tight area of play and everyone would ride their bikes round but you couldn't use brakes, put your feet down or make contact with anyone else. The last one riding was the winner.

  I'd give my right arm for a nice game of either of those right now.
