are you kidding we used to play dodge ball with softballs cause it hurt more that way.

my son was in trouble at school a few months back cause he and some other kids were playing around in the hallway. not fighting just being boys, they were on their own time, not supposed to be lined up for lunch or anything, on their own time. they were given in school suspension because they were being boys.


total bs

I think it is just a way for the state to get more money, they don't really care about the kids.

I think it's great. . . .the more the .gov upsets the "average American" the closer we get to the reset button.

In fact I don't think it goes far enough. . ..they should consider banning recess at school, and soccer and baseball for kids after school too

All I want to know is wtf is steal the bacon?

[newracer]

The object of Steal the Bacon is take the "bacon" back to your own side without being caught.

In this game, two teams are chosen, and one umpire is selected. One object is required to the bacon. (a glove is a common choice)

The members of each team are numbered. They form two opposing lines and place the bacon in the exact center between them.

The umpire then calls out a number. The players on each side who are assigned that number are the players for that round. No other team members leave their side of the field.

Neither player may touch the other until someone touches the bacon. Once a player touches the bacon however, the other player may tag him/her.

If a player is able to grab the bacon and carry it back over to his/her own side, that team scores a point. (VARIATION: in some games, points are scored by carrying it to the other teams side or either team's side)

If a player is tagged after touching the bacon and before he/she returns their own side, the team that tagged him/her scores a point.

Note that the sequence of play usually involves the two kids running out and hovering over the bacon, waiting for a slight advantage to grab it and run back before the other player can react.

The game is over when a predetermined number of points are scored, or when all numbers have been called.

We used to play steal the bacon as a tackle game, Smear the Queer, flag football ALWAYS turned physical, same with soccer. It just wasn't a good game if people weren't getting tackled, their eyes poked, and if at least one person's shirt was torn and/or someone was bleeding, then it was a good game. I don't get what is the point of letting our kids grow up in a bubble? When I have kids, they're going to be no stranger to physical contact.
