Rock scissor paper how could I forget.

What about the following:
it - the game where you run about aimlessly, touch someone and then they are it until they touch someone else then they are it and so on and so forth.

stuck in the mud

arm wrestling
tractor pulling

Remember back in the 90s when those BB-Gun bangs were all the rage?

Maybe BB-Gun shooting could become a sport. Korea could revive its Bangs to provide a training regimen.
