13 Games That You Definitely Enjoyed If You Were Born In The Late 90s And Early 2000s

Jessica Jones-Thompson

I was probably one of the last generations that actually went out and played games with my friends and neighbors, but I am so grateful I got that experience. Kids now just sit in and play fortnite or watch youtube, but kids born in the early 2000s and before definitely got a better deal in terms of childhood. These activities are bound to bring you back in time.

1. Freedom/Manhunt

It's honestly like a mixture of hide and seek and tag and it was just the best summer game that expanded for a few blocks as you tried to have your team be victorious.

2. Kick the can

You hid and tried to be the one to run and kick the can without the person who was it getting you before you get the can.

3. Red Rover

Testing your strength as you and friends join hands trying your hardest not to let the other team pass through you.

4. Stick ball and Wiffle ball

These are still around, but not played as often as they should be. Going to the closest open field to play a game was always a great time.

5. Sewey

Alright this one was mostly for the boys, but even the girls engaged or at least were there while the boys played.

6. Kick ball

This is obviously the same as stick ball and wiggle ball, should definitely be played more, a mixture of baseball and soccer, great game.

7. Knock Knock Zoom Zoom/ Ding Dong Ditch

You're lying if this game wasn't a thrill for you during your youth, you wanted to play, of course, but were also afraid of what would happen if you got caught.

8. Box Ball

This was a classic grade school/ middle school game at recess, which then carried over to outfront of your house with the cement squares (rowhomes allowed you to have the perfect set up out front.)

9. Razor Scooters (which probably hit your ankles a million times)

You know you still remember the pain of hitting your ankle on the scooter, but they were too much fun to stop using them.

10. Played Hopscotch

Another classic, drawing the court with chalk outfront and seeing who could do it best.

11. Played double dutch

Another classic middle school recess activity that probably led you to buying a rope or two ropes in some cases to play double dutch.

12. Used a skip it

These also hurt like hell when you managed to hit yourself in the ankle, but other than that they were a great time.

13. Sliding around in Heelys for those who were born around 98/99 up into the early 2000s

Remember the one christmas that everyone got a pair of heelys and had to go outside and roll around all day, they were all people wanted to wear to school too.
