Have you ever played any crazy games as a small child? The ones that you and your little friends made up? And the game is completely pointless and crass but it intertained you anyway?

I always played this game with my sister where we blew bubbles and tried to pop them all before they touched the ground or they'd turn into witches instead of fairies. ...and then there was the Hobbit rpg.

When I was around five, my cousin and I used to make chaos pennies. I have no idea where the name or the idea came from. We'd get sticks from the back yard, tie beer bottle caps to the sticks with rubber bands, and hold them against the lamp lightbulb until they got hot. There wasn't much else to do when our parents were conversing over beer.

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.

I used to sit in metal tunnels and scream. It made a crazy echo. I used to pretend I was in space.

When it was raining I used to sing to the sun in hopes that I could change the weather and make the sun come back out. Classic hits such as "Come out to play sun", "I'm bored play with me sun", "I hate rain" and "Play with me sun".

Also my friends and I had "Indian Weddings" in which we'd all wear these crazy masks and turn out the lights, have glowsticks and glow up lightsabers and pretend we were performing some sort of crazy Indian Wedding.

We'd also set up all the glow in the dark lego's in my friends basement and pretend we were "swimming" in the stars.

OH MAN! The best one yet. When we were really into pokemon we'd pretend that there were "evil clone's" of us.. and that we were kind of pokemon superhuman beings who had special powers. My element was earth... we had air, wind, fire, light and rock. I had powers ranging from ivy shoot to earthquake to sharp point leaves that I could throw at people. We'd fight one another to improve our levels and when we were strong enough we'd face our clones.. there were thousands of them but if we weren't strong enough we couldn't face them. Hahah.. I can remember before going to sleep I would pretend there was a protective shield around me... like an earthy garden... so my clone's couldn't get to me in my sleep. They were always around.

I also remember my friend being really into witchcraft. This one time we were in her like shed thing... all sitting around a candle holding hands and trying to communicate with spirits (we were like 7)... and the candle exploded. It was really really strange.

I have a treasure trove of children games. I loved my childhood... it was the best I could've asked for. [=

One of my favorite little-kid games was Aviation. My cousin had a dresser next to the bed. It was much taller than the bed and easy to climb up on. At our age, it seemed quite high off the ground. We would stack pillows and stuffed animals on the bed and dive off the dresser onto the pile. Once we got in trouble because he had the idea to dump out all his clothes, too, and we had to spend a while folding them up and putting them away.

When various second cousins would come to town, we'd inevitably all get together and play something or other. Once it was flashlight tag in my cousin's backyard. It was great fun until I decided to hide in a bush that turned out to be full of prickers. I remember standing in the bathroom for at least half an hour pulling them out of my clothes...even my underwear.

My best friend as a kid and I would go down to this creek by my house and pretend we lived down there. There wasn't a whole lot down there... rocks and a little running water, but somehow it was the greatest place ever.

That sounds a lot like another game I know (and used to play, though I lost all the time... ), called Tag. In case you don't know what it is, it's basically like what you just explained, only everyone could run wherever they wanted (and hide behind things, too), and the person who was "It" (The one who must catch the others) chased them. If someone got caught by the one who was "It", they'd become "It" and the previous "It" would run, too. Basically, Tag is like trading the "It" status, and technically, there was no winner. I couldn't run very well (And I still can't! XD), so I was usually the first to get tagged. It was fun, but recent news says that schools are banning it because kids can get hurt by playing it and they say they don't want the kids to get hurt. In truth, they just don't want to get sued by stupid parents who will sue the schools simply because of something that their own kids did. XD Other games I played included... well, I can't exactly remember. I don't socialize very well.

Why do you hope it was sarcasm? It wasn't, by the way. Then again, I can barely remember much about when I was younger. XD And for your information, I'm only 15.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Manhunt - It's kindof the opposite of hide-and-seek. Instead of one person seeking, there is one person hiding. When we see the "prey" we yell and call out to everyone. The person or "hunter" who caught the prey couldn't be selected as the prey on the next round.

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


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.

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*

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.

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.
