"Blocky", dunno if anyone's familiar? Google tells me it's known as "Forty Forty" elsewhere. (Instead of shouting "forty forty" we'd shout "Blocky 1, 2, 3").

A player is chosen as "It" and a landmark such as a tree or lampost is chosen as the base. Players who are not "It" run and hide, while "It" counts to a certain number, usually 40, 44 or 100. "It" looks for the other players, while the players try to get to base without being seen.

If a player gets to base without being seen, they shout "forty forty I'm free",, "forty forty home", "forty forty save myself" or "forty forty in" and are then safe, waiting at base for the remainder of the game. In order to catch someone, "It" must see the person, run back, touch the base and say "forty forty I see [name]". If the "seen" player is behind or in an object, it must be specified; e.g. "forty forty I see [name] behind that tree" while pointing at it.

Players that are caught by the "It" return to base. The last person to be caught by the end of the game is "It" for the next game. Some variants make the first person caught "It" for the next game.

There are variants to allow players to be freed. In some variants, a player reaching base can say "Release, one, two, three" or a similar chant to release one or all captured players. If the last player reaches the base without being spied, they can chant a variant of 'Forty-forty, one, two, three, all saved', and all the players are freed to play again.

Kerby was a good one too, hours and hours of fun back in the 90's when there seemed to be less than half the cars/traffic there are now around here.

Probably wouldn't be able to play it now without worrying about damaging a car or being run over.

British Bulldog. What time is it mr wolf. Also a witch game me and my sisters used to play where the girl from across the road we didnt like would be the witch and we all had to run around the block trying to get away from her, if we got caught then we were the witch. She never caught us!
