They banned beyblades after a few punch ups over them, that was fun.

They also banned anyone from having fun, and by fun I mean anything involving running around and shoving >.>

British Bulldog - It's ridiculous to ban it but what happened next is better.
So there was a large group of us, about 20-30 that used to play bulldog in middle school every break and lunch. Nobody got hurt, a few fell over and got bumped but that's not exactly hospitalisation.

But because of the cotton wool litigation bullshit that was going on at the time, they banned it to play it safe. So we promptly came up with 'Bite' which was the exact same thing but with a different 'tackle'. They banned that after about a week. Then various incarnations of infectious monsters like werewolves and zombies later... the teachers just banned any variation of it with threats of detention.

GG.

But not GG for long.

We came up with 'stampede' next. Now this is where it gets funny, the same 30 of us would line up on one side of the playground/field and rampage to the opposite side. God help anyone who was in the way and you were out if you were last.

The game ended up really popular with almost all of the school playing at one point. Girls, Boys, Years 3-6. So after a few weeks of stampede there was easily about 100 kids involved. It was gloriously fun, there is something about charging with a horde of your classmates that is unexplainably fun.

But 100 kids rampaging the length of the playground is a recipe for disaster. Two kids fell at the front and got completely trampled, one cracked his ribs and the other cut his face above the eye ._.

And that was the end of that.

After that it was 'No fun allowed™' completely.

So the irony here is that by banning bulldog, they actually ended up with two kids needing to take a trip to A&E. lawl.
