Red Rover and Annie Over (variant pronunciation) used the rules outlined

in other messages when I was a kid in South Texas. And I remember something

about pigtails in Annie Over. Long time ago. Keep-Away was a popular game

with a ball, but it wasn't fair to grab it out of someone's hands.

I was born in North Texas (Gainesville) and lived there till age 7, so

I learned many of these games from cousins there, who also had Oklahoma and

Arkansas connections. There may have been some rule books for recess games,

and that explains why similar rules were used throughout the country.
