When I was a kid we called it 'knock down ginger'. No idea why. We would just knock and run. Lots of fun. Once or twice we were chased by grown ups. I don't really hear of kids doing it today, probably because everyone has ring cameras or similar things nowadays.
it gets its name from the 1967 George McKay Shaw poem
Ginger, Ginger broke a winder Hit the winda – crack! The baker came out to give 'im a clout And landed on his back.Oh nice, I learned something new today! Thank you.
We called it Nicky-nicky-nine-doors. I've also heard ding-dong-ditch.
I heard it as knock down ninja
Yall had fun names. Ours was just ding dong ditch.
The ginger bit was anti-Irish racism from the people who have literally committed genocide multiple times against the Irish.
Well that not fun...jeeze.
