  • H-O-R-S-E (The Playground) – a basketball game where the goal was to make a basket from locations that you believed your opponent would not be able to match. The player would either be the shooter or the one who had to match the shot. The game began with a coin toss to choose the shooter. In each round, the shooter decided where to shoot from. This could be pretty much anywhere in the Playground space. Then, the shooter chose between a jump shot, hook shot, or bounce shot. If the shooter made the basket, the other player must have matched the shot or received a penalty (a letter spelling HORSE). If the shooter missed the basket, the other player became the shooter. The loser was the first player to receive all letters in HORSE.
