never mind the 50s I was playing most of those girly games in the playground in the late 60s and early 70's. Used to go to Brownies and then Guides and played much the same sort of things there.
There was one game that involved teams sitting in rows facing each other, feet touching we then had to open our legs forming a sort of human diamond shaped ladder. The other team then had to run up and down it. Can't remember the roolz or anything but can remember the pain when your legs got stamped upon.
Then there was a game called 'kick the can', which involved running around in the playground of a school in the dark finding hidey holes and trying to get back to base without being seen, base was the can and once there you kicked it. The sound of that signaled game over. cloud9:

"Kick can hide and seek" cloud9: There weren't so many cars to hide behind then though

There was a small wall in the courtyard of our council slum...
One person was 'it' and guarded the wall... the rest of us had to get back to it without being seen...
We called it 'Block He'...
The first one to get seen was revealed when the 'it' shouted 'BLOCK HE' and was then 'it'... we couldn't afford a tin can... noooo:
All the kids in the block played it for hours and hours and bloody hours... lol:
Kids of today eh...? ::)

Ooo I remember that one not sure what we called it. Then there was British bulldogs. cloud9:

I recall in the infants, where sexes were mixed, small girls were always doing handstands against the wall and the boys all used to stand and watch the display of knickers as the girls skirts dropped over their heads to reveal all beneath.
Thence to "Big Skool" and from the age of 6 no more knicker displays as I went to All Boys Skools from then on ..... so lots of footy in the playground during the winter and cricket in the summer. The variations were the Conker Season for October and the Marble Season, which if memory serves, filled the gap between Footy and Cricket so must have been about Easter. The girls, who now had a separate building and playground, moved on from handstands to skipping or "Jacks" although we called 'em "Dibs" and endless complaining about boys watching them from the other playground.

Conkers! cloud9:
We used to collect them all, play conkers at school and when the playground was literally covered in broken bits of them we used to throw them at each other! lol:
I don't ever remember getting told off or prevented from doing so.... noooo:

Conkers. cloud9: I never did work out if soaking them in vinegar made them harder. noooo:
I also used to be girly and make dolls house furniture out of them.
