10 fun games that your parents played as children

1. Fisherman, how deep is the water?

number of players
At least 4 (but the more, the funnier!)

game rules
Before the start of the game, two lines are marked every four to five meters. Each line is a bank, the area in between is water. The fisherman stands on one bank, i.e. behind one of the lines, the other players stand on the other bank.

They shout: "Fisherman, how deep is the water?" The fisherman mentions some depth, for example he answers: "10 meters!"

The children then ask: "How do we get over there?" Now the fisherman can think of how the children should get to the other bank. For example, he calls: "Bouncing on one leg" or "Running backwards".
