tennis ball and a brick wall. I spent tons of time playing suicide during grade school recess. There was a few different names for it. Do you guys know what game i'm talking about?

It sounds familiar. Refresh my memory...

you got about 5-8 kids, you throw a tennis ball off the brick wall in back of the school or whatever
. You have to catch it off the bounce one handed. If you bobble it you gotta run up and touch the wall before anybody else grabs it and pegs you. There was some other rule i kinda forget but you had to stand with your hands against the wall and let somebody hit you with the ball if you messed up.

I'm kinda thinkin this might not be as common a game as i first thought. We used to play kill the carryer alot in grade school recess too. I don't think that stuff would fly now a days (poa)

I think I did play that in early middle school or so... It may have been slightly different, but I remember having to tag the wall if I missed the ball
