handball, stickball, wiffleball, tag, freeze tag, hide and go seek, basketball, Carwash: Put a kink in the gardenhose, wait for a car to come by and unloosen the kink, and then run away when pissed off drivers would come looking for the culprits Laughing

, double dutch, jump rope, high jump:like limbo but the stick goes higher and you have to jump over it....

We also used to race each other. I used to bet on myself and win money because I could even outrun the boys. Gotta love when arrogance works to your advantage Laughing

on the more criminal side:

trash can fire

steal the tire valve covers - game (but dont play with stupid kids who, after stealing the caps, proceed to let all the air out the tires WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN THE CAR, STILL!)

write your name in a car's paint with tartar control crest - game

toilet paper the house - game

put eggs, vinegar, poo, and garlic in a jar and light in on fire on your music teacher's porch - game

try to derail a train with a penny - game

Luckily for me, I moved away from the town in which I had friends who liked to play these games before I had to play the, "spend the night in jail" game.....

I had a very rambunctious and lightly supervised childhood. Oh the memories. At school we played dodge ball. The ball was the size and hardness of a standard soccer ball. We always aimed for headshots. We tried to inflict pain. On a few occasions kids ended up at the hospital with broken noses or mild concussions.
The whole month of June was a fireworks extravaganza. Firecrackers, bottle rockets, Roman candles. The fun was limitless.
Halloween: eggings and free candy. One of my most vivid Halloween memories was a house egging fest with a buddy from the neighborhood: he is now on California's death row. I guess egging could be considered a "gateway" crime to home invasion and multiple homocide.

Mostly we just played sports: basketball, baseball and strikeouts, street football. Craziest game: street football played wearing roller skates. Brutal.

My ma bought my brother a magic set for xmas once in a misguided attempt to get him to do something constructive. We took out the juggling balls and ditched the rest of the set. Got a shoe, placed it beside the sofa and us and our friends had a "throw balls into the shoe game". We even developed a set system and it got pretty serious. I noticed the wuality of xmas presents went down after that year.

We also had a game that we played between the gable wall of our house and the wall of our garage. You couldn't hit the wall but had to get the ball(soccer) past the guy at the other end. That was also taken very seriously.

And last but not least, the ultimae summer game. Big blue barrel of water(doesn;t have to be blue), everybody stand around it with their heads over the water whilst somebody pushes a soccer ball as far as they can down into the water, then lets go. That's it.

We invented quite a few games, some were pretty good. We had versions of baseball using a tin can, and another one with a basketball. We used to hit golf balls with bats and tennis rackets, and wear hockey helmets. We were a creative bunch, me, Coe and Murly.

as a kid?

forget that -- we made a killer one 2 years ago called squareball.

it's a cross between four-square (awesomeness) and tennis.
