Off the topic of my head, the most popular game in our school was british bulldog, you could wipe out half the playground before the teachers seen it happening. Class.

What's the British Bulldog about?
The most savage games we played at the playground were the "pica pica" (would be some sort of "it hurts, it hurts" ) and was a pointless burst of violence with a football ball. The game was dead simple, and cannot be considered a game, but an allowed violence. If you got the ball you got the right to kick it as hard as you could to hit another mate with it. You then run after your most hated mate and made a goal kick which only aim was your mate, he'd try to avoid you, and if hit, he'd better catch the ball rather than say ouch, or you might get the rebound and hit gim again. It was a nice way to sort out some differences, and all the violence ended at that point, could not be followed later. Leather balls were harder than are right now, and when it rained, it hurted even more.
Another game was the "chorro-morro". 2 teams, the jumpers and the receivers. The receivers formed a row like this
the rows could be as long as 6 or 7 mates. The jumpers had to jump over the reiceivers and they should be there without falling. If some jumper fell, the jumpers had to be the receivers and viceversa. If the receivers didn't hold the weight it started all over again.
The first jumpers had to be thin and agile in order to jump deep. The fatter boys were used last because they didn't jump that deep and because their weight might end collapsing the row
If all the jumpers managed to be over the row, then the judge, the guy on front of the row should ask "Scissors, paper, or stone" and the first jumper should make a sign with the hand. If the receivers guessed the sign, they won, and they passed to be the jumpers next time.
Normally you wouldn't reach that moment, as the row collapsed or someone fell. All dirty tricks were used, like landing near the neck (weak spot) or jump high to dive violently with your bone doing harm. The receivers could not move, yet they did slightly.
The game was not allowed by teachers because it provoked some injuries sometimes, but we loved it.

One lad was swinging from the bar of a footie net when the mob advanced on him from behind. Instead of leaving him in his skivvies, like most victims, his underpants came down to and there he was bare-ar.sed for the whole school to see.
