British Bulldog
September 2, 2008
From The BBC..
The original rules of the playground game, British Bulldog
1: One bulldog (or maybe two) stands in the middle of the pitch, with the runners lined up on one side.
2: The runners try to get to the “home” area of the other side of the pitch without being caught. If the bulldog holds a runner for long enough to say “British Bulldog, one, two, three”, then that runner becomes a bulldog.
3: The runners try to evade two bulldogs running back again.
The Campaign Against Political Correctness Rules
BRITISH BULLDOG – NEW RULES*
Name is far too patriotic and aggressive, change to International Poodles
Safe ‘home’ areas called on each side to be renamed. Home is not always safe for children
No winners or losers – must be non-competitive
Children to wear full protective body gear, including knee pads, helmet and gum shields
Catching friends is too violent – instead players to shout “poodle” when they get within one foot (or the metric equivalent)
*According to Campaign Against Political Correctness
