In fact you cant even read the bible while out on recess! http://www.religionandsocialpolicy.org/article_index/article_display.cfm?SiteTopicRequest=17&id=2870

We played tag, running up and down the stairs and jumping off the garden walls.

Every Wednesday was “Wedding Day”. Mondays were “Marriage Day”. It was a game of tag, except all the girls chased the boys and if a boy was tagged then the pair was supposedly going to get married some day. Talk about “intense aggression”, those girls were persistent, we were never safe from the terroristic prospect of getting married to a (yuck) girl. It was a big relief when the bell rang and the boys dashed inside. Maybe some hurt feelings among boys who were not pursued by as many girls, so probably can’t play this game today.
