I grew up in northeast US. For us the game was two lines standing opposite with arms linked and someone shouts “red rover, red rover send <blank> over” then that person tries to bust through the linked arms. If they don’t bust through they get added to your line. I don’t remember what happens if they do bust through. It’s been too many years.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, it was hearing an American/British historian explain this version of red rover that got me wondering about it, since that’s different from what I knew.
