About this episode

Hey, we were all kids once, and what do kids love to do? That's right, play games. And where do they play these games? Duh, on the grounds literally named for all the playing that's done on them (playgrounds). 

This week we cover a bunch of games. Do we talk about every single playground game? Of course not. That would be ridiculous. But we do the big ones: hide and seek, tag, freeze tag, TV tag, capture the flag, cops and robbers, and pretty much all the other hits, as well as some cooler, underground games that you've probably never even heard of. We also talk about horses.
