Punch buggy When you see a vw beetle you punch the person next to you 😂

[@jousephpostma2258]

Slug bug!

[@geow551]

we called it slugbug, my grandchildren still play- old style (aircooled) count double (2 slugs)

[@Primalxbeast]

I never stopped playing slug bug, but hitting each other in the shoulder isn't really dangerous other than as adults, playing might be a bit distracting to the person driving. Things would get bad when we passed a vw dealer.

[@pickettywitchoriginal]

Sandro Cedeno it’s called Mini punch in England.

[@kathleenbrokaw3137]

I used to play that game with my brother when we were kids. We called it slug bug. There was a VW Beetle dealership in our neighborhood and I would get my arm bruised because my brother was faster at punching me than I was punching him. It was a fun game.

[@texaskc]

Swinging as high as you can and then right when it was the highest jumping off. Probably why my knees are crap today. It was hella fun at the time.

[@list25]

Man I remember doing this, and just the shock that would go up your legs from landing in sand. It was so confusing. "BUT YOU'RE SOFTER THAN THE GROUND! WHY DO YOU HURT?!!?"

[@davidtitus3276]

i volunteered at a rural fire department years ago and had a kid get driven into our fire department during drill one night. he had been up the hill at a party and someone through a can of hairsparay on the fire. It blew up and caused injury to the kids throat and lungs. he was concious when he came in, but we had to intibate and sedate him to put him on a medical flight, he never woke up. the damage to his lungs from one breathe of the exploding hairspray killed him. his body couldnt take in oxygen because of the burns to his lungs. my point is that people need to be cautious of their actions even seemingly mundane things can kill

[@msarray1]

Omg! I'm so sorry about your friend. I think about how many times I should have died when we use to get in a big truck tire and roll down a big dirt hill where people use to throw away old junk. I saw someone die on 1000 ways to die doing just what we use to. Rolled over an exposed nail to the base of the neck and died.

[@ladyofthedrgns]

A fun game my sisters, me, cousins, and friends would play alot in the summer was called Flash Light Tag. We would wait till it got dark outside, moonless nights were the best. Who ever was it had the flashlight. The aim of the game was to not get tagged or caught by the flashlight. So many injuries running into stuff, but we had fun!

[@iyaayas]

We got bored with that.....played ghost in the graveyard or sardines instead GITG: Group at goal counts from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock while a Ghost hides. Group splits to find G. First person to see G screams GHOST! Everyone runs to goal except the one G tags. Sardines: Group counts, IT hides. When you find IT you hide with IT. Last person to hide with group is IT.

[@Azumari20]

I used to play blind freeze tag. The way it was played was you or the person who was it, either had on a blindfold or closed their eyes, then they spun around until they were dizzy. Then they had to tag someone, still with either eyes closed. The person that was tagged had to freeze for 30 seconds.

[@Dathan13]

We played the pass out game...bend over and breathe heavy until you were light headed, then have a few friends hold your chest as you held your breath. We would pass out and wake up all tingly. How dumb can you get?? Glad we all survived.

[@miriambucholtz9315]

We had a variation of that where you'd squat down and breathe heavily, then stand up, put your thumb in your mouth and blow on it. Lights out.

[@electron2601]

I passed out a few times doing that when my baby sister played that with us.

[@bigrudd8746]

So kids that are now in their 30's and 40's now. I am glad you pointed out both blood knuckles game. I did the 2nd one, with coins, usually dimes.

[@Mario_Gillette]

Nickles were better because they're thicker and have a sharper edge. We usually used quarters though because the were easier to flick across the table. Also, we didn't stop when the first person blead, we went till one quit. Also, to start, one person would spin the quarter, then the other would flick it to keep it spinning, then the other would flick it and so on, the one who knocked it over got the quarter flung into their knuckles.

[@Mario_Gillette]

There was also bloody knuckles with a comb, one all the dudes back then had in their back pocket with the handle. On guy would balance the comb on the back of their fist with the handle towards the other person. The other guy would try and grab the comb lift it up the bring the tips of the teeth of the comb down on the knuckles before he moved his hand. But if the one balancing the comb jerked his hand before the other could grab it and it fell, then he was punished by letting the other snap the comb on the knuckles for the pain factor. Lol

[@nerinablais6623]

Isn't there a game like that involving a steak knife or something and stabbing the spaces between your fingers on the table until you cut yourself or chop off a finger resulting in a hospital trip to get it stitched back on?

[@nerinablais6623]

I only know about that one from watching Family Guy and other shows like it, although for Peter Griffin it was a drinking game involving a knife and alcohol if you lost.

[@robertclark2253]

I saw that on the movie Aliens that's when Ripley found Bishop was an android because when he cut himself white blood came out of his finger and he didn't register any pain .

[@gotisc]

Where I grew up, chicken was play very differently. Two kids would ride bikes toward each other really fast. The first one to turn away lost.

[@PrincessAshley972]

Thats the kind of chicken i remember

[@nuduce123]

My best friend and I did this when we were 12. Our street was like a bowl. Small hills on each end. We each rode towards each other from each end. The whole time I'm thinking hes going to stop. Then 3 feet away "hes moving". Then when we were right near each other I remember thinking "oh fuck this is going to hurt." I'm pretty sure we both had concussions. I had teeth marks on my forehead from his teeth.

[@OlGalJess]

My brother played growing up. Neither kids stop. He ended up with concussion #3. He is fine now.

[@jasonkirwan7101]

If one did not turn away both would really lose.

[@robertclark2253]

Used to play knights instead of horses we had bmx's and instead of lances we had broom handles or 2x4's .

[@SarahPriceMoore]

I loved Red Rover until it got banned at my Girl Scout camp near Arcadia, FL. Too many broken bones, which I think was one. In Indiana, they played car tag with everyone using a car to tag the other cars. I'm pretty sure it was replaced by GTA. In Fort Myers, we'd play Catch with whatever animals we managed to grab, from snakes and frogs to cats. During one of those games, I ended up catching a frog in my mouth, which triggered the epic Sarah-frog feud that's still ongoing today

[@sarabell3164]

Oh my god Sarah! Do you still play catch? Hopefully without animals lol. Car tag was fun lol.

[@SarahPriceMoore]

@@sarabell3164 yes, but now I’m more conscientious to animals, fellow motorists, and usually in a much more playful manner. Definitely no more animals are used in playing catch. Unless you count my daughter. 😘

I did not do this one but my to genius children did. 10 years ago I came home with my brand new helmet and bunker gear. (for fire fighting and vehicle rescue) Put it in my living room when upstairs to take a shower. As I was in the shower I hear running and then a loud bang. First I ignored it. Thinking maybe it was my neighbors. And then around every two minutes I would hear it over and over again. Went downstairs to find my two genes children. We're taking turns putting on the helmet and jacket. Running full force and bouncing their helmet covered heads against a brick wall. When I yelled what the f*** are you doing.

The worst one (in my opinion) was one played in school - dodgeball! It was the perfect opportunity for bullies, actually given to them by a teacher, to tortuture smaller kids. Unfortunately for me, a scrawny little girl, I was good at the game. why is that unfortunate? More than once, I was the only one left on my side. The kids on the other side had a field day throwing all the balls at onces, as hard as they could, for I could not dodge all of them. OUCH!!!!

Anyone else use to play german torture? If you don't know what it is basically their are 2 teams , the British and the Germans. Let's say they both have 4 players each, the Germans would have to think of a word with 4 letters, each player gets a letter e.g if the word is cake, 1 player got the letter c someone got A and so on . Then the Germans would have 30seconds to run away then in came the British who's job was to get the person's letter but torturing them . Once all letters have been found they would have to find out what the code was and once the code was right the torturing would be done

I'm 27 and I don't even remember the names of the two daycare centers I went to. The first one was shut down for legal reasons resulting in my daycare teacher Mr. Wedding hanging me on the fence during recess as a punishment for trying to push kids off the swings because I was too impatient to wait for an open one. Seriously, I was 4 years old when this happened and I still remember a few very vivid details.

Mr. Wedding not only got his daycare taken away from him but he also lost his teaching license after my mom sued him regarding the injury I had received from that punishment. What made things even better is that Officer Neal, who was a good friend of my mom's despite the amount of times she had been arrested, was watching my daycare center at the very moment I was hung on the fence. It was a wooden fence and I think I might have gotten a splinter as well as a scrape.

And we played Red Rover Red Rover we thought it was fun. Fun games were heads up 7 Up hopscotch, jump rope, double Dutch, tetherball, tag, hide and go seek, and Foursquare just to name a few. I don't remember playing many of these other games that you talked about maybe bloody knuckles. My oldest daughter used to play the game also and she said that came was the shit.

Hold on wait wtf, our version of Chicken as kids was running/walking in front of moving cars and trying not to get ranover. 😂😂

[@purpleku7768]

As a 60 year old, I only remember three of these. We used to play bombardment at recess. Basically two groups of kids would throw red rubber playground balls at each other until recess was over. This is now banned. Wouldn't want the school to get sued, would we?

[@navret1707]

Your chicken, we used to call mumblypeg. 🤪

[@cherylcampbell9369]

Same here in the Pacific Northwest. Could be regional name?

[@bobbyphillips3734]

I can remember playing 13 of the 25 games on this list.. WOW... My childhood was brutal....

[@christianstrohbach3772]

Me and some friends, were once waiting for the seriously late birthday party entertainment. So, we just chucked lemons from our massive lemon tree at each other. We were young, stupid and covered in lemon juice. In our hair, all over our clothes and in our eyes. It is, to this day, a great memory

[@charlescantwell-whitetail9844]

Oh,the Memories.. I remember the school kids used to use Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein's yard for soccer, snow fights ( including Forts).. They had the biggest yard on the block..

I honestly spent years looking for a set of Lawn Darts and one day in an antique shop I spotted a set of four in their original box for only $40! I promptly ran them up to the register, paid for them, and imediatly took them to my car before continuing to shop. My wife and I gave them to my kids for Christmas!

In classic Red Rover the kids are only holding hands, not locking arms. Your version sounds a lot more dangerous!

[@badmanmoose3623]

I can think of 4 1 Letter B Anytime anyone said a word that began with the letter B, you would punch them( usually in the arm) until they said letter B...some people would forget that they were playing.... 2 Open Chest a variation of Letter B but here if anyone left their chest area exposed you could punch them in their chest but only once per person 3 Left hand If anyone was holding anything in their left hand you could shout out "left hand" and take it...and it was for keeps 4 Three fly(s) A group of people and a ball...someone would be positioned a little further from the rest of the group and throw the ball high and toward the group(called a fly). whoever caught would be gang tackled until they either dropped the ball or escaped the assault. if you forsed the fumble you would be the one to throw the ball, if you escaped it was your turn. You could only fumble three times before you were "out". Last one (who didn't quit) wins

[@johnalanelson]

The classic chicken game is where two people drive cars straight toward each other. Who ever turns off first loses, unless neither does, then they both lose!

[@jerryspencer2811]

BB Check! We would play for weeks and have bruises everywhere lol. Object of the game is to punch the person who says a word that starts with B until the say "BB CHECK". Stupid yet still very entertaining.

I love Tristan's quirky personality

[@Morovygostex]

Some kids that went to my old school used to play a game they liked to call "poke the bees". In this game they would go up to a bee hive and poke it with a stick, whoever could get away without being stung was the winner. (Its amazing that my entire class survived through the whole year)

Shopping Cart Ralley Racing......you're the driver and you sit in the cart. Your buddy is the engine and stands behind the cart and pushes.....the rule is that you run full speed through the store and call out turns at random. The first team to do a lap of the store and exit wins.

[@dreamdarts6401]

when i was little, my siblings used to play a game where you'd put each person's left hand side by side and try to hit the back of your opponents hand as hard as you could until one of you pulled away and lost

[@maddag4205]

Stick Wars except we through everything from sticks to glass bottles at each other. One team would be on a higher ground in the woods and the other team would be on the lower ground in the wide open. Pretty much the same thing with firecrackers as well. Boy we were young and dumb... I miss those days..

[@darrenshield9156]

You guys need to do a uk version! Manhunt, knockdown ginger, 52 bunker, british bulldog, german torture, egging, garden hopping, stinkbombing, roadblocking, milk runs theres so many! 😂 uk people comment more and they might just do it! 😂

[@bobbybucklew7898]

I played lawn darts as a kid and am still alive today to talk about it. I actually loved the game as a kid in the 80s

[@sasamichan]

most of those I have never heard of. I thought this list would include things like playing with mercury , peeing on an electric fence , racing cars towards the edge of a cliff, lighting fire crackers , Racing on chairs propelled by fire extinguishers, or maybe games that were actually sold in toy stores and the latter pulled off the market. Lawn Darts did make it to the list so that's one.

[@casperthelivingghost9845]

The worst game I got stuck playing as a kid was "Smear the Queer." It consisted of a football getting thrown, and whoever caught it (usually the unpopular kid who got coerced into playing) gets tackled and beat up by both sides

[@robertclark2253]

Knock and run , with regional variations on the name , knock on a neighbors door or ring the bell and run like hell when someone comes to answer . Dangerous if someone had a vicious dog . This is also illegal in the UK because it comes under disturbance of the peace act .

[@christopherbates8769]

I played a game called PASS OUT. The object of the game was one person would get down on their hands and knees and count to ten, on the count of ten they would quickly stand-up and cross their arms across their chest while holding their breath. At that point someone would come up behind you, wrap their arms around you and squeeze as hard as they could until you passed out. The object was to see who would pass out for the longest time.

[@melissabean8144]

Hurdles, using our bikes to jump over, winner was the one who didn't knock over any bikes. Lol

[@maggimadison9253]

We did some stupid crap growing up but none of this! Exploring, making forts, building ramps and jumping it on our bikes, climbing palm trees barefoot and sliding down and I grew up in Florida
