Surely, it would have made more sense to ban fences?

But remember, dodgeball is a sport of violence, exclusion and degradation. So, when you're picking players in gym class, remember to pick the bigger,
stronger kids for your team. That way, you can all gang up on the weaker ones, like Winston here.

I got a concussion from getting bumped off the top of a slide, and it wasn't a big deal. Although I did notice they eventually got rid of that slide. It was too bad it was a cool slide.
We also played AIDS tag, one person started with AIDS and everybody they tag gets it and could tag new people, until there was just one person left without AIDS and everybody was chasing that one person.
I am guessing that wouldn't fly today either!

Anyone here (from the UK, obviously) play British Bulldogs?
It was similar to this, except without the linked hands. The group had to run from one end of the playground to the other, and the bulldog had to stop one of them (usually by grabbing them and holding their arms, not kicking them to the floor or anything), and then these two would have to catch more until there were loads of bulldogs and only a few trying to run past them.
I was really good at this game, being quite fast and agile, and regularly made the last two. At that point, I'd let myself be caught so that the fastest kid in the school would be caught last and would then have to be the bulldog for the next game.

Not from Britain, but it was a fine game nonetheless.
My favorite game in grade school was always handball. You could always count on someone getting smacked hard in the face every time you played. And then in junior high, we'd play a full contact version. Awesome stuff.

Monkey wars. Ahhh, brings back memories. Of course we thought we made up the game. It seems like a lot of kids think alike. In all fairness there, were a lot of injuries in that and many of the other games, but it was just a part of growning up. I guess WAS is the operative world. The wussification of children continues in full force. It's a shame.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Yup -- I have found that lots of different and strange variations of games we thought we invented were played by lots of others

Ya and most of the injuries were minor and had no lasting impacts

QFT with a bit of a caveat. It doesn't have to be like that everywhere. A few nights back I was standing with a group of dads while our children (aged 2 to about 6) played. The game they were playing delighted them and did involve a football at times but mainly involved the random tackling of each other onto the lawn. The most the dads ever did was call out when one kid tried to punch or another time when someone decided kicking was fun. My son got bonked in the face once pretty good and cried a little ( he's 3) but overall had a great time. I saw nothiong wrong with it (particularly when the smaller ones teamed up to take down the biggest kid)
I believe that this attempt to protect children from every little "owie" is silly. Let them play. let them have fun. Let them be children and skin their knees

Heh, that was my wife's very first comment when I told her about this story.
