in Chit-Chat
The monsters under the bed thread got me thinking of things we did as kids.

Like:

Jumping from one piece of furniture to the next, or from bed to bed because if we touched the floor we would burn in the Lava. :laugh:

What imagination games do you remember playing as a kid without (or before) video games/technology?

    Roller coaster/ride game. My cousins, little brother, and myself would hop on a pull wagon and pretend we were on a roller coaster or dark ride after going to Universal Studios/Disneyland. We would recreate the ride as best we could and take turns pulling eachother through the path we made.

    LOL...I almost broke a girl's arm in elementary who tried to let go one time...

    As the first kid in my class to mature physically, these games were FUN...as was target practice, I mean dodge ball.

    If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!!

    I loved dodge ball! I was always small and fast!

    My best friend and I were detectives in a secret organization called CHAOS. I don't remember what CHAOS stood for.

    One of our mission objectives was to tie our youngest brothers to the bottom of the treehouse, then throw sticks at them from underneath.

    CHAOS was not really a benevolent organization.

    Hot Lava...for sure. We generally played this on playground equipment during recess. Sometimes we'd change it up, and instead of lava, there was a maneating alligator in the "water", or zombies.


    Loved it...I miss those days.

    We played on playgroud equipment too. And if you got stuck - you could yell "ICE" and jump 3x to the next piece of equipment. If you didn't you died. LOL

    the floor is lava

    catch/crunch the falling leaves before they touch me. positive points for me getting them, negative for them getting me. Actually I still do this when I think nobody is watching. another reason to love fall.

    secret agent/soldiers with my brothers. and chefs with leaves, twigs, mud pies, etc

    as for Red rover, I got momentarily knocked out playing that game. as I was running over, I got clothelined, and down and i went and bounced my head off the ground.

    Middle brother drinks Squeez-It. Pees in the Squeez-It bottle. Younger brother must be convinced to drink it. Helps to mention that it's microwaved and that's why it's warm. THIS GAME CAN ONLY BE PLAYED ONCE.

    Our GI Joe's favorite vehicle was a bottle rocket

    Empty out many boxes of disassembled paper rock poppers into one giant receptacle, then throw it off the roof

    I'm not sure if you count "explosions" as a game but there sure were a lot of explosions
