Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these items would you need to play 'Front Door Suzie'?

Answer: A jump rope

'Front Door Suzie' is a jump rope game! There is also a similar game called 'Back Door Suzie' where you have to jump in from the other side, with the rope coming towards you from the bottom! I was never very good at that one!

2. Which game involves small rocks or pebbles, chalk, and lots of hopping?

Answer: Hopscotch

There are lots of different ways to draw hopscotch! My favourites were the ones that had doubles near the beginning, because I always lost my balance hopping on one foot. :)

3. What are you asking permission to do in 'Mother, May I?'?

Answer: Take steps

'Mother, may I take two giant steps?'. 'Mother, may I take five baby steps?'. You can't be too greedy with your steps, or Mother starts saying 'No!'

4. What time does Mr. Wolf say it is when he turns around and starts chasing everybody?

Answer: 'Dinnertime!'

You take steps based on the time (five steps for five o'clock) until Mr. Wolf thinks you are close enough to eat!

5. How many chances do you get to score a basket before you're out in 'Horse'?

Answer: 5

The first time the person behind you beats you, you get the letter 'H'. Each time you miss you add a letter, until you spell 'H-O-R-S-E'. (Although, when you're on 'E' if the next person misses, you get another chance!)

6. What colour is 'Rover'?

Answer: Red

'Red Rover! Red Rover! We call Jimmy over!'. This was another game that I wasn't very good at! :)

7. What can't you do if you are tagged in 'Freeze Tag'?

Answer: Move

You have to stay still until somebody un-freezes you! The best way to play was to un-freeze your friends by crawling under their legs, because that was the muddiest!

8. What's the missing word in this song: 'Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of posies. Hush-a! Hush-a! We all fall ______'?

Answer: Down

Falling down is the best part of this game. :)

9. In what game did you try to be the only person standing on a hill or snow drift?

Answer: King of the Hill

I could win this game sometimes, but not very often. :)

10. What two games are you combining when you kick a ball and then run around the bases?

Answer: Soccer and baseball

The game is called 'soccer baseball' or 'kickball'!
