Question for those that grew up with snow...

Did any of you play a game called "geese and wolf", maybe by a different name?

It's basically a game of tag, with the "wolf" being "it" and chasing all the "geese" trying to tag them. Once they are tagged, they're "it".

But instead of being able to run anywhere, all the players start out creating a track by following each other to make trails in the snow.

You start out making a big rectangle and a small area that's "safe", where they can't be tagged by the wolf. But, only one player at a time can occupy the safe area and if a new geese enters, the geese that was there has to leave.

Players can run in any direction, but they must stay on a trail or they will automatically be "it".

Then add some special trails inside the big rectangle. Maybe a "bunny hop" where you have to hop on two feet if you're on that trail. Another trail may be one-way. Another trail is like hop scotch and you alternate hopping with one foot, then two, etc. Another trial can be a spiral. Another trail you have to skip if you use it. And another trail is a short cut than can only be used by the wolf (it).

Anyone else play this game as a kid or have kids that play it now?

      Now Kurt is this something you did as a kid, or something you thought up after eating a couple brownies
      I never heard of it either. In the winter when in Green Island we would build tunnels and forts in the snow banks and have battles.
      When out here in the country it was sledding and tobogganing.

    Grew up with more than enough snow, but never heard of this game. Sounds like it would have been fun.

    We mostly played a little game called "Hit You As Hard As I Can in the Face with a 'Snow'ball"

      Grew up in Ohio/Indiana - never heard of it.

      Snow was for building snowmen, having snowball fights, sledding and checking the pond to see if it was frozen enough to skate on.

        Grew up with snow. In fact, one winter a snowman was my best friend. We got along well, until I found out that wasn't a carrot.

        It was at that moment that I created the phrase "Freeze my ass off".

        But not all my imaginary friends were snowmen...because that would be crazy.


        Kurt;
        And like the others, I grew up in Ohio...had plenty of snow...and never heard of this "game you claim you used to play. And it sounds like a game that would take an hour to explain. I've read it three times, and still have no idea how to play.

    Kurt,

    I grew up with snow in Delaware. Plenty of snow. Never heard anything like what you described.

    But this is played with friends, right? That's it. Didn't have any. Sorry...

      That's probably because you didn't know how to make friends. I knew how to make friends. I just said, "Be my friend or I'll beat you up."

      (Not really. The truth is my most vivid memory of winter was constantly being knocked down into the ice or snow by a large neighborhood poodle named Maxi. No one believed me when I told them.)

    Guess who would be "it" all the time?

    Quick start guide:

    Make paths in the snow.

    Play tag.

    Players must stay on paths or they will become "it".

    Some paths have special rules, like you must "bunny hop" when you are on that particular path.

    I grew up in Ottawa and can't say I heard of that one. We played a game which has passed into history with the coming of molded bumpers (thank god) -- bunking. It was an very stupid game where you would wait for a car at a stop sign and try to duck behind it and grab it's bumper for a free ride as you slid along the snow/ice covered streets. It was all fun and laughs till the car hit a bare spot of pavement and then, well...you get the picture.

      Michigan winters here and I never heard of the game.

      I built snowmen, made snow angels, had snowball fights, built snow forts, jumped out of haylofts into huge drifts, went tobogganing, ice skated, ice fished, played ice hockey and then when old enough, snowmobiled everywhere.

      But I never played bunny hop snow tag.

      We did some "bumper skitching" too. Never with a random car though.
      One time it was on a mountain pass on the way to a tiny ski area.
      (Geneva Basin as it was called when it was open.)
      There was not a lot of traffic. At some point we had to sit on the trunk to give
      the car some traction.

        Wow! You guys were bold, fearless even. I never did that. The closest I came was tying the toboggan to the hitch of a car and being pulled around the dirt roads and through corn fields. It was quite fun!

      Having a "bunk up" can be getting a lift over a wall, or having sex.

      Both of the later can also be described as "getting your leg over".

          You're probably correct as well Sumit.

          I'm afraid I've no idea of it's origins, only that it's what we used to call it. Having just looked, the correct use of the word bunk is "to sleep in a bunk or improvised bed, typically in shared quarters". The urban dictionary recognises it as not going to school so it's slang really. Having said that, where the slang originated from I don't know.

            Okay. But, I bet you guys don't have the concept of 'mass bunk' where the whole class colludes and do not show up. (And consequently get screwed by the teacher/professor)

              We did have something similar but it was never everyone who bunked off. People like Dan who were always top of the class and brought their teachers apples, always stayed in class.

              I believe in some parts of London now they now just beat the teacher up and go on a mass riot instead.

                Okay, those are some gross generalizations. I'm top of the class and I'm almost always party to not showing up. But, yeah, there are a few people like Dan - may not necessarily be top of class - who refuse to comply. We have to have a certain percentage of mandatory attendance for all courses in college. If nobody shows up, no lecture happens and there is no attendance taken. If one guy shows up, there is a fear that others might show up and the lecture would happen. This sets in motion a chain reaction resulting in everybody showing up. With that said, most of our professors are very 'co-operative'. So, we don't find the need for the mass rioting you talk of.

                But, I don't know. Dan seems to me to be the guy who'd orchestrate the whole thing.

                      In all fairness and I'll probably get all my fellow countrymen and women to hate me for this but I have read somewhere that your version of English words are actually what we also used to use during the time when all that fighting was going on over the US. Since then both countries have advanced and modified there own words.

                      This may or may not be true but it's quite possible that your statement is in fact correct.

                      Or it may be wrong.

                      I don't actually know.

                      Either way Jim, on your own admission, you can only understand every 4th or 5th word I say when we put the world to right occasionally on Skype. I can understand you just fine, so maybe I'm not talking properly? In which case your statement might well be true.

                      Edit. For the benefit of Kurt, I also haven't heard of the game but you can appreciate with British weather being mostly odd or raining, it's not much of a surprise.

    Plenty of snow growing up in Jersey but I never heard of your game.

    We did the usual things in the snow but we also played a lot of football. We called them Snow Bowls!

    We also rode our sleighs down ________ hill for at least a hundred yards and had to turn off before we fell off a 50-60 foot cliff. I can't remember anyone I knew going over the cliff but I did hear about a few mishaps.

    BTW...

    My neighborhood guys and I were also involved in some pretty rough egg fights around goosy nights with teens from other neighborhoods.

    Lord help you if you got captured by the opposition.

    Back in the 70s we also discovered that towing an alluminum "saucer" sled behind a snowmobile with about 15 feet of rope was fun too. We'd get going at a good clip then turn sharply and see if we could fling the poor ******* off. Snow drifts provided examples of how the Wright Brothers early flights may have gone...We also tried this with small skies and "flying carpets" -- flying carpets had very poor terain shock absorbtion however.

    We actually topped this (ya it's a snow thread but hell...) in the summer by taking a 6 foot diameter piece of chip board, placing an unsecured barstool on it and towing it behind a speedboat. The idea was to sit on the stool and tip the flat piece of wood up enough so it would plane while not bogging the boat down. This all went very well until you let your concentration slip and the board's front edge dipped -- at which point you found that face planting and then being hit over the head with a barstool was not something which can only happen in a roadhouse.

    Regards,

      I was just about to write the same thing. I think he's trying to root out the liars.

      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

        I actually played the exact game that Kurt was talking about. Although we used "European Rules" which means we were bare foot.

        I was the neighborhood champion 3 years running.

        "Old Snow Feet", they used to call me.

    They called me "Dances with Wolves".

    Riffle was "He Who Hits with Snowballs".

    I don't believe Kurt either because you would not be able
    to tell one kind of track from another.

    Grew up with plenty of snow, but only did 2 things basically. Sleigh riding down Riverview Lane (nice hill it was) and make money shoveling driveways (sidebar: why do people PARK on driveways and DRIVE on parkways? Hmm...).

    Never heard of the game you described either, sorry.

    Kurt, you're it:

    (Taking a break. Took a few minutes to find something similar.)

    http://www.earlylearningactivities.com/PDF/og.pdf

    Fox and the Hound:
    Must have snow on the ground and a large open place to run. Make
    a huge circle in the snow and then divide it into 4 sections like pie
    pieces. One person is the hound, the rest are the foxes. The foxes
    run all around the circle staying on the path and the hound tries to
    catch them. The first one caught it the hound. The hound can run
    on the inside circle path and also on the outside circle paths, but
    the fox can only run on the outside circle paths.
    Tag: All sorts of tag games: Freeze tag, Shadow Tag, Color Tag

    I had bad asthma as a kid. The LAST thing I would have done is run in cold weather. That kind of thing would get me interred at a local hospital for a couple of days. I was able to ice skate, though as that didn't strain the lungs. I also used to build snow "stuff". While everyone else was building snow men, I made snow puppies and bunnies. I remember kids at school playing some sort of tag games in snow, but since I couldn't, I never really paid much attention to what they were.

    To this day - if you see me running, look behind me for whatever is chasing me.

    What a sad, pathetic place to live where 5 year old kids don't bunny hop.

      Actually, Kurt, when I worked in the school system, girls played it on the playground except it was in nice weather and they used chalk on the cement pad rather than snow trails but I honestly don't know what they called the game.

        I can understand why kids would use chalk, since Michigan has such a lack of snow.
