My cousin and I used to play American Gladiators. We would make up events using random crap around the house. The only one I remember involved a boogie board and an ottoman, and I guess the goal was to knock the other person off the ottoman.

Then there was Ghost, which was played in a large, open basement. The ghost had a blanket over their head, and they had to tag someone else with the blanket, which was way easier said than done (for me, at least) because the others had blankets and they could mess with the ghost and knock them over. Whoever got tagged had to be the ghost. Whenever I was the ghost, we usually just switched after a while because I sucked and I could never tag anybody.

Bad memories though, I played that and accidentally ran into a clothesline once. That wasn't very fun.



Heh, a friend of mine and his friends were playing that at a cemetery at like 2:00 AM and a girl tripped on a tombstone and broke her knee

As for me, I had some pretty strange ways of keeping entertained. One thing was a Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh type of thing me and a few friends made up in 4th grade. We called them "Dudes." Creative, yes, I know. We would draw little monster dudes on index cards and make items and stats for them and whatnot. We never actually made a game out of it though, it was just fun to make them.

Another fun one was "don't touch the ground" or "the ground is lava" etc. That was especially good for those boring, rainy days.

Good times.... goooood times.

As kid I liked to roleplay... ALOT. All kind of characters. xD Looking back it was kinda silly roleplaying too, you know like how kids does it. But there were nothing wrong with our imagination.

...though I'm kind of ashamed that I roleplayed as Yoshi for some reason. xDDD

We used to throw punches and kicks (never really connected ever), and pretended we were the characters from Mortal Kombat. My friend would always be Sub Zero, and he'd always freeze me. I had to stop moving until he punched at me again. It was really retarded.

A real life RPG would be the fuckingest awesomest thing ever.

I want God to make one. Now.

I remember I made something similar to an RPG... Each player had to draw their character in an small piece of paper (i remember mine being a dragon) and in a bigger paper the character status (level, health, attack and defense, attacks...), what could change easily (like current hp) was written with pencil and what couldn't except leveling up (like max hp) with pen.

The character status were chosen by the "master", before each game, we had to choose a master randomly. S/He didn't played as his/her character, but he had control over the enemies and the other characters (with some exceptions) As well as the whole game.

The enemies and story (and maps, items, attacks) were made by everyone.

our character was on a map chosen by the "master", he controled the storyline (which we weren't supposed to know, becouse he could mix them too). There were enemies on the map (I can remember one of them being a spider and a "mega circle of doom", which could move everywhere in the map and kill anyone in the map and it was a boss later in the game.). The game was by turns, and each character could move a distance (and each action could be done at a diferent distance) and everything else like any RPG...

At a point it became kinda popular and a lot of people made their characters, but some of them left it after a while. at the end we were only a few (like 5 people) XD

I remember that when we were only a few our teacher came and looked at the game, he liked it and started to play with us sometimes when he didn't have anything better to do XD

*sigh* I wish I could play that again...

I played "battle" with my pals. Usually, I was something like "Morpha" or "Dark Matter."

And they were like Michael Jordan or a Power Ranger.

Hmm, Well, in 4-5th grade, me and a few freinds were like ninja people. We.. uh.. defeated evil, yes, and sometime magic and shapeshifting mixed in. Also, we had army stuff, and wierd politics, Also, we pretended we were wolves. My "girlfreind" loves wolves :p I'm still young, so there may be more to this story.

I'd sit in random things and "drive" them. Those playgrounds that actually had a steering wheel placed randomly at the edge of something were just awesome.

Sand? Pshaw, back in my day, we had rocks.

In elementary we had two fairly large playgrounds, which equated to a lot of sand. Whenever there was lots of snow that had melted or immediately after a heavy rainfall, people would run out to the playgrounds and start digging big trenches to let water flow through, eventually ending in a big reservoir. Some of them were pretty damn complex and usually made by several people, and of course there were a lot of independent 'teams' that'd constantly run around and sabotage everyone else's which usually ended in a big fight.

Creating bizarre things like that was always fun and usually lasted for a few days worth of recesses on end, watching all the brawls that broke out over it was just icing on the cake.

Playing with bugs was always fun. My cousin and I would catch slugs, dare each other to touch them, touch them and be disgusted, and put them in a flower pot with sticks and leaves. We would leave the pot outside overnight and the slugs would all crawl away. Once we made an Awesome Land for potato bugs out of a watering can, a flower pot, and a bunch of sticks and crap, and we must have had at least fifty potato bugs in there, but it rained that night, so Awesome Land became a death trap. Oh well.

Once I went out in the backyard with no flashlight. I forget what I was doing out there, but I remember feeling a crunch underfoot, getting the flashlight, and being damn happy I'd been wearing shoes because I'd just stepped on a slug and split it open.

Sinfjotle and myself used to play "made-up people" I always used to think he was saying "naked people" but that is another issue.....

Anyways. Basically in the game you created your character and tried to beat the life out of the other person that game was fun...

Nick:I'm Robbin Williams. . .
Sam: I'm Ellen Degenerate. . .

Nick: wtf^^?
Sam: I like her as a person.

Nick:Fag! *picks up stick*
Sam: Nope

Nick:. . .*Hits sam with stick*
Sam:

Nick: I win *makes dumb joke that no one laughs at*

"Get it? I'm Robbin Williams"

Pirates - Kindof stupid but we pretended the ground was water and some people were sharks. We would run around the playground wailing eachother with sticks until someone fell off or we threw them off the plank.


Army Men - We would have green vs. tan, 500+ army men and several vehicles placed on the ground. We'd take turns rolling a golfball across the battlefield knocking off as many army men as possible. The dead guys would be thrown back into the box.


Gladiators - It was very simple. Everyone had these huge, bloated plastic bats that made a *THUNK!* sound. Guys would run around and hit eachother in the head with them. Guys with big poofy hair were usually the victims. It's so funny to hit them and watch their hair raise up.

And people think I am crazy.....
I had art, literature, videogames, music composition, and plenty other options that suited my tastes.

Ah, I was a strange kid... Smart. But VERY strange.
Temple of Doom
The most dangerous game I've ever played. What you do is you get a swing set with 4 swings on it. Then you get four people to swing on them, really high. Then, you run 4 laps around it, while staying rather close to the swings. Then, you switch off with another person. The funny thing is, we never got hit. The rules also stated that if you got hit, you had to do the rest still.
Sacrifice
In this game, you get about 10-20 people during a recess. They then agree to the terms of the game. *The "Guru" writes a changeable characteristic on a note card. (Like "Red Shirt" Not "Black hair") S/he then puts it in a tennis ball can and buries it in the sand box. Then people go on to recess. Tomorrow, everybody would come at the beginning of recess. The "Guru" then opens up the container and reads the note. Anybody who matches what's on the card gets "sacrificed." When this happens, the person goes to the top of the slide. You dig a big hole at the bottom, and the person slides down. If there are more people who need to be sacrificed, they settle who gets sacrificed with a 2 out of 3 match of Rock paper scissors. If they land in the hole, they get buried in the sand for the rest of recess, and are kicked out of that round. If they land outside of the hole, then they are still in the game. Repeat the from the star to here as necessary. The last surviving person wins. If all the people at the end have to be sacrificed, they will all slide down until somebody falls outside of the hole. The winner then becomes the "Guru" for the next round. This was a very complicated game, so we wrote the rules on a piece of cardboard, kept in my desk at all times.
I'll write more later.

Lava tag was awesome. There were a ton of parks where I used to live when I was younger, so we got to switch it up a lot depending on where we wanted to play.

Also, I loved creeks to death. There also was a lot of them around my old neighborhood. I remember we once followed one so deep it went into a little forest-esque place and when it went underground, there was tons of mold and erosion around it. Its hard to explain but it was one tunnel we never wanted to go into, because it just looked really scary on the outside.

And when I was really young, my friend and I had a made up friend called Dave. Don't ask where the name came from, but he was Dave. He was basically a magical genie, and could do anything.

Well, yeah, in elementary school we had this game which we called 'Nępskrell'.. or 'Turnip peelings'. Though it had nothing to do with actual turnip peelings.. I have no idea where the name came from.

The game always took place on one of those jungle gym things. One person had to be the 'Nępskrell', and he were to catch the other participants, and when they had been caught, they also turned into a 'Nępskrell'.

The remaining person that yet hadn't been caught would be the winner. Also, the Nępskrell(s) were the only one(s) that was allowed to walk on the ground all the time. The other participants could only spend max 10 seconds on the ground, before they had to climb up onto the jungle gym again.


We called it lava tag. That was sweet. We also had freeze tag, and the normal tag.

I remember at my friend's house, there was one of those plastic playhouse things inside his house, the kind that was basically four plastic "walls" with a "door" or two. We would totally fill it with pillows and jump in the top and try to work our way through to the bottom and out.

When we were older, we made our own game up called soccby. It involved kicking a ball and tackling, mostly. I think for a little while, we even had stats in the game, but no one really wanted to keep track instead of actually playing. That game was the absolute best in a summer rainstorm.

One of my good friends and I used to play "Mid-Bear Collision" where one of us would be at the top of a flight of stairs and the other one would be at the bottom. We would each have a whole bunch of teddy bears and we would throw them at each other and try to make them collide in midair.

Life was so simple back then...
