Lol just lol if your elementary school gym time didn't devolve into vaguely covert bloodsports.

I liked when we'd play street Hockey on the basketball court because it was never more than five minutes before it turned into a Braveheart reenactment.

The little 4-wheeled rolling seats loving sucked and I never was able to use them without rolling over my fingers.

We used to do a thing where everyone would be in a circle around it and then all at once we'd sort of throw it upward and everyone had to run under it to the other side before it came down on you. Oh and while this wasn't a rule of the "game" it was a strictly followed indigenous custom that you had to scream at the top of your lungs while you ran. This was kindergarten/1st grade and it was one of the most fun things to do at PE.

My district basically banned it about 10 years ago because kids would run into each other in the wild dash and fall down and then "someone might get hurt." Hey fuckers this is human life, someone WILL get hurt, start getting used to it.

I head butted a kid unconscious doing this game

HAHAHAHAHA Those things weren't loving safe! They seemed designed to place your child fingers right in front of the wheels.

Jesus, those seats were a loving nightmare as a kid.

What was even the purpose of these? "oh those little shits can make a cardboard box and pool noodle into hours of fun? Let's see what we do when we give them nightmare skateboards."

Neither did we. loving kids these days getting coddled. When we played scooter dodgeball you just powered through the excruciating pain of mashing your finger between the hardwood floor and hard plastic wheel under your body weight and dealt with it!

To teach children that life is pain.

They're still sold in the school supplies catalogs (as are parachutes) but it's rare that a school is allowed by their overlords, the insurance providers, to actually buy them anymore.

It's probably the only thing America's successfully copied from the Finnish educational system.

We would have "free play" once a week in the gym where you could take whatever small items out of the storage that you wanted to play with - basketballs, footballs, dodgeballs, jump ropes, and these things mainly
One day we figured out that if you get all your friends on these and have a chain of jump ropes tethering each other and you had one person at the front pulling everyone you could maneuver a massive whiplash reaction that sent the last person in the chain zooming across the gym at dangerous speeds.
After that day, jump ropes would forever be banned from free play, but also because nobody used jump ropes for actually playing jump rope either (lol if you did)


e: After jump ropes were banned another thing we would do is empty the giant trash buckets that were used to hold basketballs and stick them on top of 4 of these and push people around in them but that wasn't as fun
