Made up kids games

[OneEyeJack]

<strong>One game , me and my friends would play was called LAVA. There was this construction of a building in our neighborhood,and we would climb on everything to make our way thur the site. Only one catch, you could not touch the ground with your feet because it was LAVA, and you would die and of course out of the game. You could get lumber and place it on the dirt (lava) and run across. YOU could knock down construction fencing and move ahead. Climbing on cement mixers was allowed,and jumping to dump trucks was OK.Every weekend we would play this game because it would constantly be changing do to the progression of the work.IT was always fun till the cops came.</strong>

.....wait that wasnt a game..........

[mdr55]

Manhunt, Suicide, Handball (one bounce before it hits the wall), Kill the man with the ball, Tag, Freeze tag, ASS (combination of suicide and handball), Handball with 2 walls, red-light green light, house, school bus, punchball, wiffleball, stickball, football, etc. &nbsp;<strong>Chinese School</strong>- 1 person is the teacher and the others (student) have to pick correctly which hand has the quarter or rock or something. The person guesses correctly moves up to the next step. 1st person to get to the top of the steps graduates and becomes the teacher.<strong>Flies up</strong>- can be played with more than 2 people. Using steps, 1 person throws spalding ball at the steps (preferably the sharp corners). The other people try to catch the ball for outs. A one handed catch was 3 outs and that person was next. Any other catch (ground ball) was one out. Drops, mishandled ground balls were basehits. A fly ball that went over or touched the car across the street was a homerun.I don't remember what we called this game. But it involved balancing and walking on top from one side of the fence or rail to the other. If you fell down (depending on the fence, it could be a high drop!), you joined the other people who also couldn't do it and try to distract the next person from going across.<strong>Chance</strong>- You get a garbage can and placed it against a wall or preferably a corner. With a basketball you try to shoot the ball into the can. If you make it in you move to the next position/place (like the game HORSE). If you miss it, you can &quot;Chance&quot; again for another shot. If you miss that shot you start from the beginning.<strong>Going down the Cut</strong>- wasn't really a game but a place near the PATH station where the rocks were (which we called the cut) and usually go exploring or do karate play fighting/boxing. One time they found a dead body down there. (or so they say)<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do kids do now???? Stay home and play video games.&nbsp;&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;</p>

Speaking of games.......where did the spot-pass originate from when you're playing playground football???<br />

[BoondockSaint]

Kill the Carrier, Butts Up, and Running Bases come to mind.

[mdr55]

Running bases. Forgot about that.<br />

The &quot;NY style&quot; was that you didn't have to hit the ball on a bounce back to the wall.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Boxes, Kick the can, dodgeball, prison ball, and who hasn't played &quot;DARE&quot;.&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;</p>

in our latter years of elementary school we invented "cube tag" where you had to stay inside the woodchips while playing tag or else yer out. It was like tag with boundries and we would play it every day until we got sick of it...............I'm ashamed to say I think we were in 5th or 6th grade

kick flies up

and lighting fireworks under the southern state.............wait a second......

<p>We'd play Sizzle Pisano which consisted of jumping on the couch and playing air guitar mixed with farting.&nbsp; Then there was Specie Island, a game made up of the neighborhood kids in a small waterless tiled pool which existed in my back yard somehoe tied to flashlight tag.&nbsp; The object of Specie Island, to this day, is still unclear to me though I played it. </p>

[mdr55]

<p><strong>Find the bomb (Bombhunters)</strong>-&nbsp;&nbsp; using the game (the one with a timer and you had to fit the pieces into it before time ran out and the pieces popped up) a person set the timer and hide the thing somewhere in the house. The rest of the other people would look for the device before the time ran out. Who ever found it, hide it next.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[TheVHD]

<p>3 games that weren't mentioned yet.</p><p>1- Dymamite... you would go to the park to the swing set.&nbsp; Each kid would pick a swing and with a stick draw two lines/boundraries on each side of their swing.&nbsp; Then you get on your swing belly down (superman style)... then the stick we used to draw the lines was dynamite.&nbsp; Someone would start the game by taking the stick/dymnamite and the object&nbsp;was to throw the stick in the boudaries of someone else... if it's in you boundarie you have to get the stick/dynamite and throw it into someone elses boundarie... the skill of the whole game is that your on your belly on the swing and have to grab the stick in that position... so you try to throw the &quot;dynamite&quot; in a spot where the opponent can't reach it... you needed to get the &quot;dynamite&quot; out of your area in 60 seconds after it was in your boundarie&nbsp;without falling off your swing&nbsp;or your blown up.</p><p>2- King of the Mountain... much like smeer the queer is a contact game.&nbsp; Basically you would stand at the top of a hill and someone would be king.&nbsp; The object would be to get past the king and get to the top.&nbsp; The king would at the same time try to knock you down and down the hill.&nbsp; Basically footaball with no ball.&nbsp; I'm sure many have a version of this game.</p><p>3- Cage... We would go to a baseball field and someone would hang on the backstop fence and climb or move however they could.&nbsp;Then 3 or 4 other players would have a soccer ball and have to kick it (off the ground not drop kick)&nbsp;at the &quot;hanger&quot; and knock them off the backstop.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;God I wish I was 12 again...</p>

<strong>Fortune teller-&nbsp; </strong>you ask the person 4 questions like: What's your dream car?&nbsp; Where do you want to live? Who do you want to Marry or like?&nbsp; How many kids do you want?&nbsp; And the person would need to give you 4 different answers for each. The fortune teller would draw like a spiraling circle and count the number of lines. Then they would count off and cross out the various answers until one answer was left for each question and that was their fortune.<br />

[mdr55]

<p>You think we can market/package some of these games????</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I remember at Toys-r-us once I saw them selling &quot;paper football and goal&quot; in a neat package (and the goal had to be cut out from the back of the cardboard) . Unfreaking believable! Who hasn't made their own paper football during recess and fling that sucker across the room trying to kick that field goal into your opposing person's finger goal?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Or desk hockey using coins.&nbsp; </p>

[FUNKMAN]

<p>Hot Beans And Butter - the gang would choose and and whoever won got to go around the corner and hide their belt. When he yelled &quot;Hot Beans And Butter&quot; the gang came running around the corner looking for the belt. There was a homebase designated. Whoever found the belt could whip anyone they could, as many times&nbsp;they wanted and as hard as they wanted&nbsp;before they made it to homebase. </p><p>Donkey - some card game where if you lose you had to grant&nbsp;'one of three requests'&nbsp;from each player. One time my buddy&nbsp;had to stick his head down the sewer for 15 minutes. Sometimes you had to run a bus down and ask the driver for change for a penny.</p><p>1 2 3 Friday 1 2 3 - not really made up. It was army tag but you had to hold the guy and be able to say 1 2 3 Friday 1 2 3 before he got loose in order for him to be caught. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[weekapaugjz]

one game that me and some friends would play in middle school was similar to bloody knuckles but we never had a name for it.&nbsp; you take a nickel (has to be a nickel, no quarters, pennies, or dimes allowed, those were for pussies) and you spin it on the table.&nbsp; the opposing person had to trap the nickel while it was spinning with their finger so the nickel was still upright, pretty tricky but you can catch on with practice.&nbsp; if you trap it, its your turn to spin.&nbsp; the nickel falls flat and the pain begins.&nbsp; you would then have to make a fist and place it on the table, so that the middle knuckle of your hand was firmly against the table.&nbsp; the person then get to take the nickel under their thumb and fling it as hard as you could against the persons hand.&nbsp; the nickel would shred your knuckles apart and would sting for days but would always be worth it if you got your friend with a really good one.&nbsp; we used to play it at the lunch tables until the teachers caught on to every kid having their knuckles shredded apart.&nbsp; man the stupid shit you do when you are a kid.

[CarpeCerevisi]

<font size="5">best fucking game ever... smear the queer!!!!</font>

[OneEyeJack]

<strong>ROASTED CHICKIES. This game was invent in my yard because I&nbsp;had two trees about 35 feet apart from each other with a long rope strung inbetween.An boy or a girl would wrap their arms and legs around the rope(one or two persons was allowed)&nbsp;thus looking like a chicken on a stick over a fire.Several kids, usually&nbsp; sadistic older brothers would start to swing the rope back and forth, getting higher and higher with each push. You had to hold on and indur sever G FORCES&nbsp;that would make an astronaut cry when the rope and you would ark downward. THe only ways to stop was when you fell offand got the wind knocked out of you or you started to cry that you would tell mom,or the sadists would get tired with thier victum or the rope would snap from the stress( this happened many times since it was a popular indurance game)and you would get the wind knocked out of you.GOOD TIMES!</strong>

[MrPink]

<p>We had one game in my neighborhood where one person rides their bike and the other kids try to throw a stick in their front spokes. </p><p>There was another game called Zombie where one person was human and the others were zombies. The human would have a stick and have to hit the zombies in the head before they touch him. I'm surprised none of us lost an eye.</p><p>When we got a little older we played Drag Race. One kid could be on a bike, another in rollerblades, another on a skateboard and we would race to the bottom of the street.</p>

[BoondockSaint]

We also played Pennysaver War where on Saturday morning we'd go around after the Pennysaver was delivered and collect them.&nbsp; Then we'd chase each other around the neighborhood just wailing each other with them.&nbsp; The wet ones were the worst.

[OneEyeJack]

<strong>In the summer, we would play MARCO POLO only the person who was blind folded (a cloth stuffed into a divers mask)or should I say the person who was it, was&nbsp;armed with a wiffle ball bat. This game was played in a pool. Most of the game was spent under water as not to be struck on bare skin with a wiffle ball bat and thus become IT .</strong>

[lleeder]

<font size="3">My favorite game was dirt bomb fight. It usually turned into rock fight.</font>
