keepings off
The ball game played where a group (of kids) stands in a circle and tries to keep the ball away from a person in the middle. Known as 'piggy in the middle' in NSW, but 'keepings off' in Victoria: We played keepings off at school today.
Contributor's comments: At my schools in Melbourne in the 1950s it was a lot less structured than the description given by the contributor. A free-roaming attempt to keep the ball from the other team or from anyone else at all at times, with no goal and no real end.
