I remember when it was still cool to put ribbons in your hair-the ones that looked like yarn on steriods.
The ponytail on one side of your head.
Heads-up 7-up was a way fun game.
You didn't get to choose what color background your school picture was.
Book IT! Read so many books a month, you get a big pin that you put stars on for every month you reach the goal. The ultimate prize was a Pizza Hut pan pizza.
i remember in my school, they had one choice for a background other then the regular blue...it was lasers, and i always wanted to get it, but my parents wouldn't let me, because they said it was too distracting
I think I was in fifth grade when they offered the jazzed up laser background. (I remember they had stars too)
i don't really remember the grades...the only memories i have from elementary school are: 1) Field day where we all got to play outside 2) The kids in gym class got shot by bebe guns 3) I got stung by a bee and found out i was allergic 4) Somebody sat on a cactus, haha 4) The teacher told me that i should stick up for myself, and it made me mad, because i was being nice, and she yelled at me ,....yeah, thats elementary school in a nutshell
bebe guns in elementary school? did you go to school in the hood?
hahaha...sure sounds like it...it was actually some teenagers who would hide in the bushes and shoot at the kids when they came outside for kicks
these kids sound like the future drug dealers of america...standing outside the school with their fancy 10-speeds, dealing pixie stix to lil kids where bound to form an addiction.
I remember the bestest gym game ever . . . bombardment - if u don't know, u better axe somebody!
i totally agree. not too many actually called it that, but i had some burned out ex-military gym teacher, mr. jump. we played maddd bombardment.
yea we used to play that too! i hated it cuz i would always get out but i can't catch so i was stuck in the jail the whole game...
i was never allowed to get the cool backgrounds.. i always had to get the plain blue.. but they had the lazer one and also this one that was like books... like library shelves... haha i wasn't allowed to get it tho...
i got a wicker chair once.
ME TOO! why didnt my mom EVER let me get the lasers! i always wanted them! hahaha one year i had to get a fall scene behind me... so gay.
i remember Book-It. i only did it once, i think. i got my free pizza and was happy.
oh man also silent ball (that's so not what we called it what was it...)
Oh man, that totally reminded me when I first got my hands on Pogo Ball! What a stupid invention that was, but I fell for it. I had to have my Pogo Ball!
o man... wall ball... and spud... and dodge ball... and nucum... i used to LOVE gym class haha
When you played wall ball did you play with a tennis ball and whoever losed at to do butts up?
Wall Ball was the best! We played with either a tennis ball or a racquet ball. In Vo-Tech we'd play at lunch just about every day, unless we were playing hacky sack with a koosh ball.
Butts up! That was the greatest! I think I still have welts on my legs. hehe
Eddie used to make Andres do everytime we played behind Andres' moms house. Good times.
i definitely loved wall ball. we played a lot all thru-out school. i hated gettin' beaned.
LOL, we should get a decent sized group and go play. I'm sure we can find a decent wall. But how bad did it suck when someone threw the ball on the roof!
we should. i'd be down. roofers weren't allowed to play the next day.
haha, oh yeah...butts up! hahah
nucum whoaaa that's from like 2nd grade!
