How 'bout THE HAND GAME!!! Anyone play that in the car?
And don't forget my personal favorite...pick a cute guy and follow him, honking and waving, until he starts to follow you...
AND THEN YOU TRY TO LOSE HIM BEFORE HE FOLLOWS YOU TO YOUR HOUSE!!!
This was only done when you were with your best friend, of course.

Yep, and my old one passed on to my daughters, and they never forgot how... when I gave the one in the link above to my grandson for his birthday, his mom really showed him up!
BTW --- I realized in looking back how gross "the hand game" sounded...
My bro and I used to play it - one in the front and one in the back seat. You put your hands on the seatback and the other person has to start with his hands down low. Then he tries to slap the bejeebers out of it as you try to draw your hand back real fast. I guess the winner is the one who doesn't start crying - LOL. Those were pre-seatbelt, pre-nokidsinthefrontseat, and pre-bucket seat years. These youngsters just don't know how to entertain themselves --- HAHAHAHA.

I never heard of "rock, paper, scissors" until my boys starting playing it. Although, I die laughing each time I see the Bud Light commercial with the two guys playing it for the last beer. What a riot!

lol, we still play smeer the queer. we used to use walnuts as hand grenades when we played war. when our lawn darts broke we used my dads long wood handle screwdriver. 'course that game became corrupted when we decide that it was more fun to play chicken with the screwdriver. we'd stand 20 or so feet apart and then close our eyes and chuck the screwdriver into the air, closest to the other person without that person moving won. if you got hit the thrower lost.
masive g.i. joe battles with smoke bombs and firecrackers for artillery. suicide on the monkey bars. our version of bloody knuckles was a combo of both your games. we'd play slaps and if you got slapped the other person had a free shot at your knuckles. first person to cry, give up or break a hand lost. man... that was fun!!!! 'course i believe if i were to play any of these games now, i would probably have to pass lol. especially with the oones like eraser burn.
