street games
Neighborhood outdoor activities
Street games are informal recreational activities played outdoors in urban neighborhoods, typically by children, requiring little or no equipment.
Tag, hopscotch, stickball, and jump rope are classic examples.
The term evokes a nostalgic era before organized sports and electronic entertainment, when kids gathered on sidewalks and empty lots to play until called home for dinner.
