these games can't really be called sports
YMMV, we would mostly just molest each other.
>>96610499does it really count as molestation when everyone's into it?

Did you lads play German Torture when you were kids?Basically you just had to catch the person who had the password and torture/beat them up until they gave up the secret password
These look like Canadian coins as they're similar to our British onesBut basically Shove Ha'pennyYou flick or push a coin from your side of a table to your opponents, aiming to leave it hanging over the side of the table without falling off.If you do, you get a free shot at your opponent's knuckles with the coin
>>96610488That's some weird mublypeg happening with the lower right. >Looks up mublypegHuh, we played it different. >Stand 2 yards apart, legs at should width >Throw knife between opponent's feet >Each successive throw takes a step backwards until someone misses What's the one with the pencils?
Was this a phase for everybody or did my friends just really enjoy never-ending charlie horses.
>>96611447>What's the one with the pencils?When I was in 1st grade, we called it Cracker. The idea was to break the other person's pencil. the two players trade blows on each other's pencil until one breaks. If you google it, it's also called pencil fighting.

>>96611264This one holds up.On an unrelated note, my childhood game was weird. All the middle eastern kids in elementary school invented what was effectively a class-based fps with freeze tag as a framework. I think one of them might have had an older sibling who was playing TF2 (It had just released)I liked playing spy but it was the role that caused a lot of rule arguments.Other games included pointing at monsters in the 3.5 monster manual and yelling "That attacks you!" and then rolling dice and saying "You kill it!"Also, stacking rocks on the running track at the edge of the playground. There was a lot of quartz so you could make fun fantasy city shapes. I had to stop because the supervising teachers kept going over and asking if I was okay because apparently a small child sitting alone on the edge of the field is some sign of mental trauma and not a desire to stack small rocks. Sometimes they would subtly send over other kids to sit around with me but they never lasted.
>>96611639That was a phase for me and my martial arts classmates, but a bunch of them were three or so years younger than me. For us, you got to slug whoever looked in the shoulder.
>>96611639The TV show "Malcolm in the Middle" really skyrocketed that game's popularity for my generation.
>>96610488We used to play "slipper tag". In this game, there's 2 teams, doesn't matter how many players as long as they are equal in numbers. Every team has a 'base' made by stacking empty cans into a pyramid. The goal of the game is to knock down the opposing team's base by throwing your rubber slipper* at them. You can throw your slipper to " out" an opposing team player if it hits them too. Once out, you can no longer play. Thing is, you only got 2 slippers on your feet and the opponent team can collect your thrown slippers if you're careless. Getting hit by the slippers is very painful. There is no playing field per se. You can build the base anywhere and the game can take up the entire village.*In Malaysia, slippers are what other countries call jandals, sandals or thongs. Ours is made from hard rubber, which makes getting hit by them very painful.
>>96611777Cherry bombAirstrikeand some move that everyone had to run to the center, and if the guy with the ball got there first then everyone else lost. Naturally, they ALWAYS won so we banned that move. We had ban list squares, pure vanilla squares, and free for all squares. Kinda crazy to think about even at 10 we were balancing made up games and separating into different leagues to play with your preferred ruleset.
>>96610488We had a "ball swing" (see pic related) hanging from a tall tree, and a bench near it. Kids would queue up on the bench and try to jump on the swing. If you got on, you went to the back of the queue. If you didn't, you were eliminated and would wait until a single player "won" before forming a new queue.Some kids would kick the ball as they jumped off, and it would fly all over the place, making it hard for the next kid in line to get on. I recall that there was at least always 4 or 5 kids, sometimes more than 10 playing it at recess, even in winter too.My favorite version of table tennis was called something like "ultimate". You removed the net, the ball had to hit the opponents side of the table once, but could hit the table any number of times (or even roll). But, the ball also had to hit the floor once. You lost a round if it didn't hit the table or hit the floor twice. Holding the paddle in reverse, you could slam it across the table, it would quickly become this mad dash trying to get to the ball before it hit the floor twice.Another one was played using a basket ball and a single hoop. Players would form a queue, and the first player would try to hit the rim. If they did they moved to the back of the queue and the next player in the queue then had to get the ball before it hit the ground three times, or be elimianted. When you got the ball, you had to stay where you got it, moving from the spot was not allowed. If a player couldn't hit the rim, or score a goal, they were also eliminated. If a player scored a goal, they would get another turn, if they scored 3 goals in a row, they won.Common tactics would be to score a goal, and from underneath the hoop, hit the rim with as little force as possible, to make the ball bounce 3 times as fast as possible. Another was to throw the ball full force overhead and hit the rim so it would get as far away from the goal as possible, making it hard for the younger kids to hit the rim.
