Sometimes through a single person's efforts, a new and innovative game is developed and promoted locally. Occasionally, circumstances cause these games to remain on a local level without being adopted by mainstream physical educators and physical activity professionals.

This article describes the history of how each of these games was developed and promoted. Rules, equipment and game-play strategies are provided.
