Hmmm...I liked playing football, chess, and any type of card game. My all time favorite was dodge ball...because it has real world applications.

That movie is underrated.

For us, it was some of the below:

1. Fort Building - My best accomplishment was building a fort outside that had two floors, made from scrap wood, and didn't use a single nail (though several rusty ones went into my hands and feet while moving pieces).

2. Poop launch - Here's the fun thing when you have a dog, and your house backs to a woods that wasn't used for anything (except building a fort). Simply grab a shovel, find a pile, and launch that sucker.

3. Neighborhood bike races - A lot of us kids got together to race around the block.

Later, it became mostly card games: BS, Gin, and Euchre were the most popular (Penny-craps were as well, but it wasn't encouraged).

I supposed you could count Bionicle wars, but all that involved was smashing LEGO bionicles together till you knocked your opponent's mask off.
