    There was this one game we occasionally played in elementary that had no name, everyone knew what we were doing that day as soon as we walked into the gym, I’ll just call it islands. The gym teacher would split the class in half and put out 6 wrestling mats. Each team started on their own mats and had to traverse to the second and then the third without touching the ground. The mats were spaced about 50 feet apart and we were given a bunch of random objects like pool noodles, a wheeled dolly, a plunger, a few stepping stone rubber pads, and I’m sure some other stuff I’m not remembering.

    The objective was to be the first team to get all members on the third island, if anyone touches the ground you had to go back to the first island. It was mainly a team building exercise but my favorite part was to play the pirate. I would take the dolly and plunger and scoot over to the opposing teams side of the gym and taunt them from my ship as you could not physically interfere with the enemy.

    Definitely my favorite game, I still have fond memories of that.

    Funny though, I have no stand out memories of an activity I hated.

    I hated all of them, but especially wrestling. My teacher was a big bully who used to play football before he wasted his life.

    He would always pick the smallest guys in the class to demonstrate the moves on. It was just an excuse to dominate someone much smaller and weaker than him.

    Prick.

    the fitness gram pacer test is a multistage…

    I’ll let you guess if that was my most or my least favorite

    least running, most canceled. Ok I guess I like this scuba one I had. Honestly the whole change twice and shower in the middle of the school day is sorta a pain.

    Most favorite: indoor hockey

    Least: swimming. Hate swimming and having chlorine smell all day. Plus it was winter and more than one fire alarm occurred during gym swim period.

      It’s probably not chlorine that smelled, it’s most likely piss. I remember I went to a gated community swimming pool once and the water was pristine, no smell or anything. I was like wtf this was amazing.

    Best: Turtles

    Worst: the President sticking his nose where it didn’t belong.

      What is turtles? Never heard of it as a game.

        Turtle carts. Sit on them, put your feet on the handlebars, grab the handles and then sort wiggle back and forth to zoom around the gym floor.

    Favourite was dodgeball, for obvious reasons. Least favourite was dodgeball, cause we played with volleyballs.

    Running is the worst for me personally, between weak ankles and maybe sports-induced asthma. Thankfully in high school I got a pass out of any running due to a slightly nuts podiatrist who thought the only sport that was safe was snow skiing because my ankles were bound in. (Even swimming was out, apparently? Made no sense to me. I went on to play water polo anyway.)

    Loved badminton.

    Volley ball was like hell on earth.I take a 4h math/literature test over a 2h volley ball session

    Climbing pretty fun. Still practice as an adult

      Those are my two favorites! You had climbing in school? I’m envious! What did that look like? Your school had a wall?

        Making me feel lucky my public elementary, middle, and high school all had rock walls. They spanned the whole length of one side of the gym and were around 10 to 15 feet high so you really only climbed laterally, still a lot of fun.
