Akron, OH in the 70s, familar with both term and activity.
Didn’t know it as a kid (Chicago, 60s/70s), but heard it a lot when I was a first grade teacher in NY state in the 90s.
L.A. CA in the 60s, Hou TX in the 70s
We did that. Never had a name for it either.
Massachusetts, 1970s, never heard of the term.
Me too.
