Playground Games
Hopscotch · Marbles · Jacks

Playground games, also called street or sidewalk games, have been around as long as people have. Games like jump rope, tag, and hide and seek are so old that nobody knows when they were first played. Evidence of some games played far in the past, like hopscotch, jacks, and marbles, has been discovered by archaeologists (scientists who study ancient human life). Other playground games like stickball, kickball, and street hockey are offshoots of organized sports like baseball and ice hockey

Explanation:
"Recreo" is actually 'recess' in English, but 'recess' is the time during the school day when kids play on the playground.

The second reference ("del juguete y juegos de recreo") is from an apparently official Mexican governmental or educational website which is not freely accesible (cobran por visitarlo), but the citation is visible on http://espanol.yahoo.com (search expression "juegos de recreo").

juegos


Explanation:
como no existe una traduccion exacta para "playground games" (que es una frase idiomatica en ingles sin equivalente en español)yo lo dejaria como juegos, pues ya antes en el texto hablaste de que se trata de juegos de calle, etc. No creo que se pierda nada del significado porque el contexto ya esta creado.
