coyleys Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 We'd say "queens", when playing tiggy in the 1960s and 70's. (same thing, though) We played all sorts of tiggy-games:- tiggy-off-t'ground (you couldn't be "tigged" if you were above ground level ie on a step or a wall...) tiggy lamppost (if you got "tigged" you had to stad with your arms out, and your legs splayed - like doing star-jumps- and had to be freed by someone crawling through your legs!) tiggy-ball... speaks for itself:- you had to hit someone with a thrown tennis ball, in order to "tig" them. quite hard to do when they were running about! lol) can anyone remember any other versions of "Tig"? I'm sure We would play tiggy house-brick on the Wybourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursday Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 We said "Feignights" ( fay-nites? ) and held up crossed fingers when we wanted a rest - usually when we were in danger of being caught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterdo Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 We also played Chain tiggy ,where you held hands to form a chain until the last one was caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffin4 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think that at Woodthorpe school in the 1940's we gained a little respite in a fast moving game of tiggy by crossing our fingers and shouting "keys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grappler Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 It was crossed fingers and "kings" for us, and we also played T"iggy Off Ground" and "Tiggy Lampost", plus "Tiggy Hospital", which was where you had to hold the part that you hade been "tug" on, example; if the person that was on "tug" you on the arm, you had to chase the others while holding your arm. Of course we all tried to tig people on the arse!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffin4 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 It would have been interesting if you could have managed to tig them on the foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
