Even without cooties, in most schoolyards, the girls will play
balance & coordination games (hopscotch, skip rope, &c) while the boys
play physical speed & strength games (ball games, 'play'-fights &c).

I believe you when you say you & 3 boys hung together a lot. Did you
also play games with more minor aquaintences? Did you play ball,
or did Dave, Tom, & Gordy skip rope, or did you only join in with other
lids for less gender-segregated games, such as tag, Simon says, &c?

We played ball and war and stuff at home.  At school, we played
tag and such.  My rope-skipping skills were not impressive.
