To be frank, that is a hard question to answer. As first of all even in childhood I did not go outside often. and second of all there is not a game in particular that springs into mind when i think of that question. There are some quite decent games I played that does not involve any electrical equipment nor gadgets, yet I play them inside my house all the same.
A Notable example being a game, which assigns players as cops civilians and criminals.The roles are chosen using cards so that the players do not know who is a cop and who is a criminal. Criminals have to kill every non criminal player by tabbing on them with their hands,moreover they can revive other criminals. While cops have to guess how is a criminal by hearing who dies where,as whoever dies says it that he did out-loud, and he can also get clues from died citizens of who might be a killer and where might he be. There is a catch though in that game which made it hard to play outside, which is that the game is played in total darkness to conceal the identity of the killer. I believe that this game is similar to a game online but i do not know its name.
There was also a game where someone would wear something on his head to make him not be able to see. He plays as a beast who is trying to protect something that he wears from explorers and hunters. Note that the thing he protects does not need to be with him it might be hidden somewhere where the explorers do not know where it is and must search for it. The beast moves blindly guided towards the victims through their sound, in addition whoever is captured are died and must return to the starting area to re-spawn. if the explorers manage to find the treasure before the time limit runs up they win. in contrast if the time runs out without the explorers finding the artifact the beasts wins the round. Yes there can be multiple beasts especially if they kept on losing, even after changing the roles.
Outside though the most notable games that i liked to play are hide and seek which renowned enough to not explain and basketball which is even more famous. Other than that all what I do outside during my childhood is all wandering around in the streets watching the natural environments or walking with pets
