Oh yes Dodgeball was the worst. I would always would stand at the far end to avoid getting hit. I hated being forced to play that game. :evil: I hated teasing sorts of games like kids clapping their hands in front of me trying to make me blink. Evil kids. :evil: I hated truth or dare too.

Just like the OP, I thought red rover and dodgeball were the worst games that I had to play in school. Playing house looked even worse, so I never took part in that.

Kids at my school also spent a lot of time acting out their favorite scenes from tv shows and movies. They'd do the same scene over and over. I never saw the point of that.

Your posts all brought back such memories. I was just telling a friend today how I hated red rover as a child. Always got knocked down because I was small.

Dodgeball was the worst, as one kid would throw the ball hard, and the one time I caught it, I nearly fell on my butt. Most of the time, I'd stay in the back or deliberately step out of bounds so I couldn't get hit since I was always the main target. If picking teams was left up to the kids, I was always picked last because I sucked at most of the games. Still, the only thing worse than dodgeball was tag because I wasn't a fast runner.

I loved dodgeball. Over here we call it stingups. Unlike in the state, the game was kind of unofficial, and the teachers didn't like up playing it.

Games I hated...

*Tag...as I would always be "it" because I was a slow runner. I could never tag anybody because they were too fast.

*Hide & Seek...I never really understood the point of hiding just so someone could find you, it seems like a waste of time to me and very boring.

*Playing "Mums & Dads"...My most HATED game ever! Pretending to be a parent and looking after a child, I mean really, how more lame can you get! Plus, there was the fact that there were no set rules, so usually half way through the game I would become ignored and left out anyway. I avoided this game as much as possible.

*Hop Scotch...I always ended up in the first aid room getting sticking plasters on my body as was always falling over :lol:

*Dodge-ball...I hate getting hit by things and the anticipation for it is unbareable!

The childhood games.

I didn't mind tag till I was year 5 (5th grade), I started to hated because I'm so slow.

When I had queue up for Dinner (lunch), we been playing games like someone's disease, I hated it because I always get picked on, everyone is padlocked.

I was really energetic person, then and still am with those games.

I hated all childhood games and I tried all sorts of ploys to get out of anything that required my participation.
At home my foster parents would force me to play cards with them and I would play to lose just to get the
game over with. How dare anyone to dictate to me how I occupy my mind and my time. :evil: :evil:

I hated playing pokemon, and especially duck duck goose, or any game where i had to get up in front of people, especially if i got in the mushpot. they'd throw bits of grass at me, and i'd be humiliated.
