Amusing games you played as a kid, or The stupidity of youth

[bung]

1. "Dize in" - That's the name me and my brother would call it. It basically consisted of spinning around real fast until we were dizzy as all hell, then bumping into each other and various furniture.

2. "Egg Tossing" Semi-version - A friend of mine lived in a small town, population 200 or so. There was one gas station/grocery store in the whole town. We would go there, buy a few cartons of eggs, and see who could hit the most semi-trucks as they sped down the highway.

3. See who can hold their hand on the car the longest after it's been sitting in the blazing sun all day - self explanatory.

4. "Throw stuff in front of cars" - Cars would come down our neighborhood streets, and when they got pretty close we would throw pretty much anything in their paths, trying to make them run over it. Hockey sticks, cans of soup, old toys, broken electronics, small babies, etc. Then we'd run away.

5. Steal stuff out of people's mail boxes late at night, and see who can get the best "mail" - self explanatory, but there was some very specific criteria as to what amounted to "the best."

6. Super gluing quarters to the floor, usually inside a mall, and watching how many people would try to pick them up (then laughing) - self explanatory.

Proceed!

I used to lock my little cousins in closets (, laundry bins, non-working freezers, etc) and waited to see how long until someone noticed, or they found a way out. I mostly did this when they weren't listening to me and 'needed to be punished'.

A friend and I decided to sell crab apples and those twist-y things on grape vines, so we proceeded to give everyone 'free trials' and filled their mailboxes. When no one reacted to our acts of kindness, we decided to pick my grandparents' vegetables out of their garden and added them to the mailing list.

[stereokiller]

In high school, the school janitor accidentally locked one of our teachers in the bathroom (he was asking if there was anybody inside and one of my classmates said none), there was a gate that resembles this one -

- before you could actually enter the bathroom. I swear someone shot a video of it, couldn't remember who. Haha. So young, so insane.

[xRadioJoyx]

I used to play this game with my brother where we would throw random objects over the neighbours fence and then have to jump over and get it without being caught. one day I went over to get a woody doll and the old man living in the house came out and chased me with what I think was a ruler :/ most terrifying moment ever.

Long hide and seek games in very dark, wide places with very many hiding spots. So many lost friends. :)

We used to play this as well. We'd play a version where you couldn't be seen at all and would have to get back to a base. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.
Spotty - Where you have one touch of a foot/soccer ball and could let it bounce once. I actually still play this all the time, along with the following game.
Red Ass - Someone starts off in net and you have to score ten volleys against them bar the last goal which has to be a special one (either a head or a long range volley or a freekick, something like that). Whoever scores the last goal then has to score a penalty against the keeper. If he scores, the keeper has to stand with his arse facing the other players who take shots at it with the ball. If you miss the keeper's arse, nothing happens. If you hit, you get progressively closer until you dropkick it. The way a person goes in net is by missing the goal with a volley attempt, being caught by the keeper or "evils". "Evils" is when the keeper can throw the ball at your legs and if it hits you, without bouncing, you go in. Great game.
Bulldog - Think it is called Red Rover in the US. You run across an area without getting tackled.

[Hay]

Disabilities game- We would put various disabilities in a hat (paralyzed waist down, blindness, etc) and pick one out. You would have to get to the other side of the yard with that disability in the allotted time.

[Steiny29]

marco polo (outside of the pool) - blindfold one person and play the game as you would in the pool and you can mess the the person who is it. whether it be throwing things at them, tripping them, etc. and tagging only counted if they touched you with their hands so you could push them and still not be it.

also played a game similar to lacrosse, but instead of a lacrosse ball we used a giant beach ball like 3 feet in diameter and only played half-court

another game - throw a ball as high as you can in the air and fight with all of your friends (pushing, shoving, etc) to catch the ball. whoever did got to throw it next. very simple but so much fun

Proud? Not particularly. But it's amusing to reminiscence about the idiotic things you would do for fun when you were like 13.

[PandaBear!]

my buddies and i used to play see who could actually be bothered to get up, get IT up, and mate with our ho's. It would take some time, but i would always win. If there were more Panda's with energy like mine then maybe our species wouldn't be dying out. :-(

A bunch of the kids on my street and myself used to play a team based version of hide and seek called "Ditch 'em" We lived on a culdesac so the end of the street was safe. One group counted there while the other team hid. When the team finished counting they'd all branch out looking for members of the other team. Kids would be hiding under cars, in garages, behind bushes, on a roof on a couple of occasions. If the majority of your team made it (3 out of 5, 4 out of 6, etc.) then your team got to hide again. Lots of summer nights playing this game.

My friends and I used to play a game called Blockie, which I think is the same as those (except, possibly the girl version, if I am remembering rightly)? Everyone who was hiding had to get back to the base and say "blockie, 1, 2, 3 IN" before the person who was it could do the same (except saying OUT instead of IN), else they were out.

Halloween nights, we would get a a dozen people and split into teams. One team searched while the other hid. It got kind of creepy at times. It was like halloween tradition, though.

yeah its pretty fun. last year on 4th of July everyone was in town for once so we all played again, except this time everyone was at least 17 or 18 so it was pretty fast and there was a lot of epic games.

I'll try and tell this story as best as possible because its funny, but its pretty long, so bear with me.

I spent the night at a friend's house when i was 11, and there were 2 other people there, so 4 people total. Around midnight we decided to play hide and seek in the house with all the lights off. His room was made the safe zone so we counted from there. His room was at the end of a T shaped hallway, so it was a long stretch to make it to his room. As we were running around in the dark I thought it would be fun to leave an obstacle somewhere for someone to crash into. In my friend's room was a giant, person sized stuffed pig that he had won at the fair a month earlier. So when I was it, I counted, then carried the pig out of the room and hid it in the bathroom, which was right next to his room, then went on with the game, and I ended up tagging my friend, so he was it. While he was counting, I took the pig from the bathroom, put it at the very end of the hall near the intersection, and waited for him to come out. When he did, I ran through the intersection, he saw me, and ran after me full speed. I didn't see what happened next, but I heard it. He ran into the giant pig, tripped over it, and crashed into the wall in front of him, and put a person sized hole in the dry wall.


TL;DR: My friend tripped over a giant stuffed pig and crashed into a wall, hitting it so hard that he put a hole in it.

I used to play a game where I was little and it was Passover. There's a part of the ceremony where someone has to take a glass of wine to the front door and offer it to an angel. I used to just drink the wine, come back and tell everybody the angel came and took it. Not so much as a game but just something stupid I thought I was doing to be smart.

sonofabitch.

I remember all of the kids in my neighborhood would play kick the can like every night during the summer. we also played this game called swirly ball. it was like football but one on one and for some reason we only played it after it rained out haha.

my favorite though was yelling at people who walked by and throwing water balloons over the roof of our houses to hit people in their yards on the other sides

My brother used to pay me to be his "ball getter" when he played basketball. I would run around the yard chasing all the balls he missed. He payed me 1/16th of a cent per ball. I didn't realize how ridiculous this was until I was older.

You have to throw them out into the yard first.

[Saucey McRib]

KIDNAPPED.

Break into teams of four. There is a minimum of 8 players, but we used to get a lot more than that. Each team needs a car and two cell phones. Each team picks a driver, a navigator, and two victims. Your victims get into another teams car, and at go, you have a designated amount of time to find a place within the city limits to drop them off, blindfolded. After you give the go ahead, they give you 20 seconds to drive away, take off the blindfolds, and call their team, who has dropped off their victims somewhere else across town. The victims must direct the navigator and the driver to their current location. The first team to make it back to the starting position with their teammates is the winner. Had SO much fun playing this game. People chased by dogs, by other people, having no idea where they are...we usually play at night too. Obviously I was in high school but we had a resurgence of it in college and it was still fun. I highly recommend it.

Sardines - It's kind of a reverse hide and seek. One play goes and hides somewhere. Once hidden everyone else goes to find him/her. Once they find him, instead of calling him out, they hide with him. Slowly everyone begins to disappear until only one player is left.

I get the point dildo muncher, I just felt saying tag, and fucking hide and seek is fucking obvious.

[Clockwork00]

Some sort of Pokemon game we made up where one person was a Raichu and the rest were Pikachus. The point was to evolve. I think there was a dinosaur version, too, although I don't know exactly how that worked. I only vaguely remember it.

Once we got older, we had Airsoft gun battles in an old barn. I kinda want to do that again.

[CheckeredFloors]

Sandwich wars!

Kind of hard to explain but it's basically a 2 on 1 fight where one person from the team of 2 wrestles the one guy to the ground. The third guy who is carrying a beanbag then runs and jumps off the nearest furniture (generally a couch or pool table) landing on the one guy whos being ganged up on with the beanbag.

Caused so many injuries

sex - the best game of all.

[open mind]

i used to hide in the bushes and squirt tourists with squirt guns. most people just laughed but i remember this fat southern lady getting really upset. i think her exact words "gawd dyam it bob git that lil bastard in them bushes!!!" luckily bob was also fat and unable to catch me.

we used to go down to the library that was right near the tourist dock and shoot spitwads at the tourists from above and then run from the cops (police station was right across the street from the library).

we used to run around the mountains off trails scaling cliffs and jumping all around them. no humans were ever hurt to badly doing this (a few stitches and some minor spinal injuries aside) but my buddies dog was knocked off a 50-60 foot cliff by his other dog and the poor thing bounced half a mile or so down the mountain and needed a new hip as a result.

i remember taking pencil fighting very seriously.

we did a lot of prank calling. we'd call libraries and book stores asking if they had titles such as The Yellow River by I.P. Freely, 30 yards to the Outhouse by Willie Maykit. we'd also call restaurants and bars asking for people with ridiculous names (emulating the simpsons) like Amanda Hugginkiss/Beetnslap, Mike Hawk, etc. we thought it was the height of hilarity.

we had this version of tag (we never named it but maybe people refer to this as lava?) where the person who was it could touch the ground and the metal parts of the playground and everyone else couldn't touch the ground but was free to touch the whole of the jungle gym. this required much jumping and risk taking. one kid broke one of his front teeth right in half on top of the metal slide and people were prone to running head first into things. this was an old school playground made of metal and wood, and the metal bars stuck out in random places for no other reason than to make children cry it seems.

we'd a play hide and seek ball tag hybrid game at night quite a bit.

cops n' robbers.

2 person baseball with a custom set of rules that made such a concept work fairly well.

boxing with towels and duct tape for gloves.

i remember playing blind man's bluff, thinking i knew where someone was and jumping head first into the wall.

Easy there Eric Stiffler.
Congratulations, you got the point of the thread,
not stop trying to act tough over the internet, and try contributing something, instead of your attempt at humor.

Twister. Nowadays, if it's not sexual, it's not fun.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

My friend had an awesome neighborhood for man hunt. That was always awesome.

[popdisaster00]

We used to sit right next to the fire place and let our backs get super hot and then roll around on the carpets, and it would sting. Yeah, fun game

It was fun when we covered the whole thing in sunflower oil and drunkenly slid across it. Come to think of it, that would've been more fun if it were sexual.
Also reminds me of sliding down the stairs in sleeping bags and the first one to get to the bottom wins. And running really fast and then stopping as you neared a wall so you'd slide for a bit.

Ffffuck I love manhunt.

Man hunt. And the best part is, it's still fun

marco polo (outside of the pool) - blindfold one person and play the game as you would in the pool and you can mess the the person who is it. whether it be throwing things at them, tripping them, etc. and tagging only counted if they touched you with their hands so you could push them and still not be it.

also played a game similar to lacrosse, but instead of a lacrosse ball we used a giant beach ball like 3 feet in diameter and only played half-court

another game - throw a ball as high as you can in the air and fight with all of your friends (pushing, shoving, etc) to catch the ball. whoever did got to throw it next. very simple but so much fun
Me and my friends used to do this, but we'd call it 300 or 500, or 1000 whatever round number. The person throwing would call out a number and the first person to add their points to the set number would throw next. So much fun.

Also, we played Wall Ball (or Webble). We'd throw a raquetball against the side of our school cafeteria (which was fucking massive) and if you caught it you threw it next, if you dropped it you had to run up and touch the wall before someone ran to the ball and threw it, hitting the wall before you got there. If you got busted 3 times, the 3 people who got you out got to peg you with the ball while you leaned against the wall. So fucking dope with 50 fucking kids playing.

In high school gym me and my buddy invented a game we called Booze Ball. Obviously nothing to do with drinking because we were in school, but we thought it'd be cool to play while drinking. Played on a basketball court, with a volleyball, you had two teams. You had two "downs" to get it to half court, then two more to get it into the basket. You could run and throw, but no dribbling the ball. It was two hand touch, and if you made the basket (which was 6 points) you could shoot from the free throw line for another point, or from half court which was another 6 points. Easily the best game I've ever played. We actually got the kids who loved playing basketball and other "real" sports to get in on the action. My gym teacher hated me and my friend (which was the reason we were left to fend for ourselves during class) so it was super sweet when our game was more popular than his classes. I heard later on that other gym classes were adopting our sport. Cool feeling.

most annoying game EVER: at mass sleepovers, we would play this game where you try to not fall asleep, and to prove you are still awake you say "IM WINNING".... god so many sleepless nights.

the other day i was at my friends spending the night and right as i was about to drift off i hear "Im winning" come from his bed...went over and punched him

Both of these are incredibly fun. I've never played Twister with sunflower oil, haha. Sounds pretty intense actually.

Mall Ball? What the fuck is that?

The game is called "Smear the Queer."

Might as well add something stupid we did as a class. It's easily the greatest thing that I ever did at school (I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to be a "You had to be there" stories but I'll tell it anyway).

We decided the day before we wanted to build and enclosed runway thing across the classroom and so we asked our form tutor if we could do it. Since he was a cool guy, he let us.
The next day at the beginning of lunch, we quickly realised that there was no way that we were going to be able to make an enclosed set of caves (made from all the tables and chairs) across the room. So we fell back to plan b.
We placed a large amount of the tables in the corner and about 5 brave soles decided to go under. We then piled chairs, tables and bags all around the edges. They were now trapped in a cave and some of them didn't like it. They started banging on the tables above them so we had people sitting on them to keep them trapped. If anyone tried to move a chair or bag and get out the side, they got a chair smashed just near them to fear them back in. This was kept up for a while with people just chilling until our friend, Porky, farted in this enclosed space. This sent everyone in there apeshit trying to get out and it was a real struggle to keep them in.
They started complaining about the heat but we kept them in. You could feel a really sweaty heat escaping from the gaps.
Eventually, after the whole lunch break (an hour long), our form tutor came in and was like "What the hell is this? I didn't give permission for this. You have crossed the line. It needs to be cleaned up by the time I get back." We all rush to start clearing chairs and tables and let the people out. All of the people in it were literally dripping with sweat. Those that had white shirts had gone see through because it was so hot and sweaty.
Fucking Palace of the Moles; great shit.

Thumbs up, 7-up.

I would cheat hardcore in that game, and the idiots in 4th grade were too stupid to realize why I was so good at it.

[Fringe]

I'll be the first admit that that is a way better name xD

[ChelseaRiane]

What was manhunt?

A better version of Hide and Seek with lots of people. Its usually at night and its more intense. i guess that describes it.

Yeah it's just a series of greasy fails. Your hair feels really nice after you wash it. As it does when you get beer and piss in it (ah, the things you discover when you return from music festivals.)

Well, I have no desire to have pee in my hair.

You split up into two teams of about five. One team hides and the other team looks for them while one of their members guards the "jail". If one of the hiders is caught, they go to jail. If one of the hiders can sneak to the jail, touch it, and say "release", all of their friends are released.

It's from the bottling. I once went to Leeds Fest thinking Panic At The Disco were good (long time ago). It's a shame it wasn't Reading or I would've experienced the famous bottling of 2006.

Me and one of my friends always did this! We also used mattrasses which hurt less. Her mum always got super pissed and yelled at us whenever we did it too which kind of added to the fun.

Ohh that one sounds fun

Who's Afraid Of The Dark the game. I used to play this all the time as a kid.

Angry people are always funny to watch. Like when teachers shout at you and you just laugh at their fatigued frustration. Probably why most of my teachers hated me. That and I worked out by the age of seven that all adults did't have as much authority as we thought. So one day I tested what'd happen if I refused to copy out pages of an encyclopedia during swimming lessons for not getting ''question of the week'' right.

Q: Who wrote Huckleberry Finn?
A: Spongebob.

They made me write pages out during break, lunch and swimming lessons. I stole the encyclopedia afterwards to spite them.

[XLT917]

Spoons was always fun depending on their location. Usually my friends and I would either build an obstacle course with couches and what not between us and the spoons or hide them in various spots around the house.
