A variation on “we’re playing army, who wants to join us?”. A line of boys would link arms and march across the playground chanting “We Walk Straight So You’d Better Get Out Of The Way!” their legs kicking out in front of them in a cross between the Can-can and goose step. Children too slow or too stupid to move would be kicked. Eventually the line would reach the end of the playground, one of the downsides of walking straight was that it made turning round very difficult. Chaos ensued.
