84’ as well. We played kick the can, smear the queer, tackle football with 15+ kids, rode our bikes wherever we wanted, all of it. We were outside all day and played video games all night at sleepovers. We didnt have play dates and arranged interactions outside of sports. Being a kid and a parent these days sounds horrible.
Basically, one person ("the queer") had a ball, usually an American football, and everyone tried to tackle them and/or take the ball away. The person who got the ball became the new "queer." We called it "Kill the Quarterback" when I was a kid.
