Bulldog

That’s what we used to call it, anyway. It is also known as British Bulldog, Bullrush, or numerous variations thereof. It is a school playground game that has been banned (or, at least, frowned on) by many head teachers because of risk of injury*.

Here are the rules, such as they were:

A bunch of kids, the more the merrier, stand at one end of the playground.

One child is elected to be the Bulldog. He or she stands in the middle of the playground.

On the cry of ‘Go’, the mass of kids have to run from one side of the playground to the other, avoiding the Bulldog.

The Bulldog has to catch one or more of the players as they rush by.

A simple tag will not suffice; they actually have to wrestle their opponent to the ground or otherwise incapacitate them.

Once captured, a player becomes a Bulldog and stays in the centre.

When a ‘run’ has been completed – i.e. all the players have reached the other side – the whole thing starts again with players running back the other way.

Repeat until there is only one player left, the rest being Bulldogs.

Then, commence the Glory Run.
