My personal favorite was kick the can. Little did I know at the time I was damaging the self-esteem of all one-legged children wishing to partake. Shame on me.
Yea, as kids we also played "Chinese Freeze Tag." But due to the politically correct movements of late, it's now just called "Freeze Tag" (I guess "Asian-American Freeze Tag" was too long).
I don't think Freeze Tag changed it's name due to any PC reason. When I was growing up it was already called Freeze Tag, and the same people would also use racial slurs against Chinese people, lol.
Plus I seriously doubt 3rd graders are up on all the PC rules.

ah for the good old days when dodgeball was still legal.
People keep taking away all the fun parts of childhood and playing outside and wonder why they keep turning to video games.

Don't forget Smear the Queer, or in today's PC terminology: Tackle the Alternative Lifestyle Individual.
