There is only one answer....
It's Jack in the Pack, anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Markers up, Jack in the pack sounds like a circle jerk.
Get it right. It's 'Marks Up'. Not Markers Up. Jack in the Pack sounds like a private school boys initiation 'game'.

I had no idea it was called anything other than "Marks Up".
Yeah we had K2K aswell. Not that it matters one iota but I was somehow under the impression there was one kicker in 'marks up' and K2K was two big packs of smelly kids kicking it to each other. Which leads me to the greatest of all schoolyard games.........

"Marks up"
Jack was always that weird kid picking his nose and talking to grass. Didnt get invited to play a whole lot.

When I went to school it was kick to kick , 2 groups of maybe 20-40 at each end a a few footys. On asphalt so the footys were turned inside out so there was an edge on the seam to protect the ball.
My boys played markers up which was a smaller game with one kicking and 2-3 or 4 marking. Was a much smaller game. When I was at school there was no way 4-5 kids were getting a footy to themselves.

Marker's Up, never heard of Jack in the Pack until now. Best game at our school was basically a mixture of British Bulldogs and keeping's off. Year 12 vs Years 7-11. Despite being significantly outnumbered (probably by about 5/6-1) was definitely the most fun as Year 12's.
