Wow! I had no idea! I guess I can see why these games would be banned. No one plays hopscotch? I feel old now!

The games you listed were my favorite.

Double Dutch
"Buck-buck", a game (which should be banned, if it already isn't) which involved kids bent over in an elephant-like nose-to-tail line out from a wall. Other kids leapfrogged as far as they could over the bent kids and continued until the line fell. I don't know what determined the winner.
Roller skate races over our uneven sidewalks. Each house or group of houses had different sidewalks, some slate (very smooth), some concrete, even asphalt.

And we lived to tell about it.
