In the 90’s gym class was a different world. It was a place that took you out of a school setting and threw you into the world of the unknown. The 45mins a day that allowed you to take a break from learning and just have fun. Check out our countdown of the top gym class games we all miss.
5. Floor Scooters
In a time where safety may have been lacking, our fake hover boards were in high demand. These amazingly fun, yet simple toys were all the range in gym class. There wasn’t a gym class that went by with these that someone didn’t end up in the nurses office with a hurt finger, but who cared we were rolling in the high life. You can actually still buy these scooters on Amazon, though they would no way be allowed in schools today. Christmas present hint hint
4. Red Rover
Separate the weak from the strong, and the big from the small in this insane closeline battle. The fun we had knocking eachother out, as we yelled, “Red Rover, Red Rover send Matt right over.” Off you went, running full speed into what you knew couldn’t end well. It was you or them, you had to break the chair. Faster you ran, faster, faster gaining speed. You can do it, knock that team down. Contact is made and you are victorious, you have broken the chain, and possibly your friends arm. Just another day in the 90’s
3. Kickball
This is quite possibly one of the best days, or at least close to it (we have two games to go), that you could have in gym class. When you waked into the gym and saw a lone red ball in the middle, you knew it could only mean one thing. It was KICKBALL day! Inside or out, this game took the best of all the worlds, baseball, soccer, Tag, it was all there!
2. Dodgeball
There is no way you could talk about amazing gym class days, without taking about Dodgeball. Everyone’s favorite full contact sport...well unless you were the geek. Grab a ball, pick out a weak target, line up your shot and FIRE. Headshots may have been frowned upon by teaching staff, but they gained extra points for you with your friends.
1. Parachutte
The most magical experience one can have. What’s better then jumping under a giant colorful parachute with 20 or 30 of your best friends. Nothing beat the excitement of Parachutte day in the 90’s. I could have done this every gym class, there was nothing and will never be anything as great as this big top circus our dreams!
