Half the games on the cover must be "played everywhere" only in England. I recognize marbles, hopscotch, kick the can, and follow-the-leader. "Cut foot and guide" looks like leapfrog. The rest are unfamiliar. Does anyone know American equivalents of conkers, pinner, rounders, Monday-Tuesday, or table the duck?

Remember that this a DCT paper and therefore as much Scottish as English and "hunch cuddy hunch" is certainly Scottish. But, hopscotch would be peevers here. I saw bicycle speedway at Coatbridge during the interval of a speedway match involving Coatbridge Tigers.

(There's a programme cover featuring the great Jimmy McMillan)
Oddly, despite it featuring in Oor Wullie, CHICKIE-MELLIE doesn't appear on this cover.

There are Wikipedia pages for Conkers, Marbles, Rounders, Hopscotch,and Leapfrog (which is what "Cut Foot and Glide" resembles, judging by the picture.
The other games may well be unknown to most Americans,.
"Hunch, Cuddy, Hunch" looks like another variant of Leapfrog . . . "Headers" looks like a football (soccer) drill. . . the other games are as unknown to me as four-square or tetherball might be to a British kid.
