Stumbled across a great site aimed at grandparents (apparently!) It features lots of traditional games and really does inspire you to kick off your crocs, put daisies in your hair and run out into that garden (well maybe not quite - best leave the sturdy old crocs on!)
On reading the introductory paragraph about how in "Simpler Times" children relished playing games and created so many variations, and the fantastic quote about children in days gone by "They were set out in the yard in the morning and brought in at night like cats" Don't know about you...but personally unsure how my children would cope with that, and if I did that now how could I possible make sure they had their 5-a-day, and who would keep them topped up with Factor 50+!?
However, you get the idea - the games are wonderful and we certainly enjoyed playing "Swing The Statue" and "Kickball" so have a nosey and see what you think!
