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
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.
