    'leg' ball; otherwise known as 'a game of leg', tip the can, and red rover were particular favourites during school time. I'm laughing here just thinking about it; they were fun times:D

    you could always tell the budding sadomasochistic homos, they liked to play feint games in the yard. and 'touch willies'

    i chose to play 'plastic bag over the head' with em if they didn't suffocate at least the rest of the break they'd be trying to break free. somehow more productive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 419 ✭✭Gary4279


    Slaps
    I.R.A
    Buldogs
    conkers ect...

    last man standing was epic though, teacher would leave the room. everyone would stand up, when the teacher returned the last one standing won, and got detention.

    Turtles cards. Later Simpsons cards and, occasionally, Callcards.

    The only Turtles card I didn't own was #14, Metamorphosis. I don't remember any of the ones I actually did own.

    Played a lot already mentioned.

    Penis/bollocks game was fun too. Basically one person has to say penis, and the next says it louder and it keeps going on and on.

    primary school
    kiss chasing in 2nd class ...until it was not allowed anymore.
    bulldog ...until it was not allowed anymore
    IRA ...more an after school thing and continued to secondary school, but one team gets a word and each person on that team gets a letter, they split up and hide/ run. the second team then chases them and beats them up for the letter.
    football
    Gameboy for one year when everyone got a gameboy colour and the pokemon red, blue or yellow. never got in to yu gi oh and other bull**** things.
    guns
    gta basically gta liberty city (the first 3d one), with one guy putting on a dodgy accent and given us a mission, then it was just guns and imagining you were in a car or had an american accent
    secondary school
    tape measure. 2 games in woodwork/ metalwork
    1. guess the lenght of a thing as a group and go measure it.
    "that looks about 3 ft 2 inches"
    "no about 2ft 7" "
    then go measure it.....its amazing what youll do to avoid study in a free class.
    2. putting the tape measure as far up into the air at about 80 degrees without it buckling. got to about 384 or 284 centimetres. again its amazing what stupid things we would come up to to avoid a free class.

    throwing bits of wood at eachother

    selotape ball
    we also used to play a game by putting a bit of wood in the middle of the desk and flick a ball of selotape over it to a goal made on the otherside.

    the recycling bins used to be in the metalwork room so bottles used to be regularly thrown.

    hitting files together to produce sparks at eachother.

    throwing scribes at targets, usually with somones hand nearby.

    used to play dots in othe free classes. with whole copy pages. (the game where you mark a sheet of paper with a grid of dots and then try make boxs out of those dots)

    alot more simple games.


    edit
    few more,
    ignore the teacher
    teacher comes into a class to ask a qustion or give out, nobody acknowledges his/her presence.
    we made one person cry (didnt know she would take it to heart), she said "lads!, move on to classs" the four of us ignored her as she kept saying lads until she grabbed one of our arms.

    last one wins
    last one to enter the class or kick the ball in pe wins. used to be funnier in pe.... run up to the ball, do a load of stepovers without touching it and let somone else who wasnt playing get it.

    we also had a teacher who looked like carol vordamen, an uglier carol vordamen, so we used to constantly ask for another vowel, or a constanent

    slaps


    aggh the memories

    You had 4 people stand in a square and 1 person in the middle and u had to call the person opposite like you call a cat and try and swap sides before the person in the middle caught u...or something like that:confused:

    Then there was the Orange Balls game/song too!

    Ah good old Bulldogs... confession time. We used to play it in school and everyone would delibeately lose until one particular guy was left. He had to get though the whole thirty or so of us. Every time he fell for it and every time he got the **** kicked out of him. Kids can be so cruel. Because the punishments are so... lenient.

    bulldog was banned in our primary school, about 60 used to play with 2 on to start. somone broke their arm, then two weeks later somones collar bone got broken that was the end of that.

    This wasn't so much a game as a tradition. Actually it wasn't a game, and is probably deserving of its own thread, but anyway.

    On birthdays, in my old school we used to do a thing called the pole torture. Now, of course we did the bumps first too. Wrists and ankles, bumped into the air for every year (with some boots in the back for good measure.)

    The pole torture was similar in that a group of boys would chase you down like a rat and then grab you by your wrists and ankles. They would then proceed at considerable haste to the basketball court and hold you over their heads and run you full pelt into the baskeball pole, spreadeagled. They'd then back out (to about the free throw line) and run you in again - one for each year. Happy memories. It eventually became an expulsion offence.

    kerbs for years

    in school. get the large blue rope at break time. two guys each end runnining around the yard. catch someone in the middle. wrap around them a few times and pull the rope until they cried.

    marbles. for some reason marble season just started out of nowhere every year. could never figure out when it started. probably spring come to think of it

    Yes! Nobody else ever remembers that. Where do these games come from? Orange balls was amazing; although I can't remember much about it other than everyone standing in a circle and chanting "Orange balls".

    An even more bizarre one, that is kind of similar was called "I lost my heart in Killarney" - what the hell was that? It involved skipping around whilst singing the song.
