People's lives...
We've started staring out of our Upper Sixth form common window at the motorists outside, and making up stories about them.

e.g. I saw one guy today, who quite clearly was having an affair with his secretary, and his wife (in the car, sitting next to him with her arms folded) knew about it, but he didn't know that she knew...


Also, I recently formed a political party, the Anti-Spaz Alliance Party (our slogan: "Let's get rid of spaz's A.S.A.P!"), and we put people we don't like into waves of spaz's that we will.. eliminate when we come into power.
Quite a few of our teachers will be in the first wave. Also, a lot of the kids on my bus... People go into the second or third wave if they have a chance to redeem themselves.

We're easily amused...

Indoor curling
In my university Dorm last year, we found that right after they wax the floors, they become almost icily slippery when wet.
We mixed some dish soap in water to get it extra slippery, poured it down the length of the hallway, and got a large rock from outside. Then we took turns throwing it as hard as we could down the hall.
We eventually got in trouble for it, but not for the soapy water, rock, or noise. just because we had mapped out scoring areas with duct tape.

Shish Kibab !
My game was invented during english as a way to get rid of the tedium. its basically a game of nerve in which u nominate a person in the room as the leader (usually the teacher) then u must say shish kibab and see if she notices and then the next person says shish kibab louder until eventually one person bottles out or the teacher notices. it works best to start of quietly and try and wait for oppertune times rather than just resulting to shouting straight away. u would not believe how loud we would say Shish Kibab. Other variations include saying "my what nice thighs u have" and "mimsy"

Pencils
Get as many pencils as you can, and try and karate chop through them while your mate holds them. Also, the game someone mentioned further down, where you punch each others fists AS HARD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. These shenanigans had to stop when my mate broke his hand during them though....

In Rome once
me and my brother played "Spot the fur coats".
We reached roughly 320 over a period of 2 days (!) then stopped because we felt sorry for all the poor fluffy animals.

Teaball!
My roomies in college made this up QUITE recently in fact, they get someone to tie the strings of a couple of crappy tea bags together to make a huge teabag ball, then get it wet and after turning the college pool
s heat temp waaaaaaay up in the winter, we all put on our suits and play keepaway in boiling pool water. If it touches water, you know because of the tea-ey pool water and the person near it swearing "It wasn't me, It was the TEABALL!"

"Hellllooooooo. My name is Brian Blesséd."
You can play this anywhere that you can get a good echo (e.g. multistorey car parks or stairwells).

You shout "Helllloooo. My name is Brian Blesséd." in the deepest voice you can muster.

Er, that's it.

When I was a student about 10 years ago
we used to keep score with on scraps of paper when watching "going for gold" (crappy tv quiz show with Matthew Kelly which was on after neighbours) Whoever came last had to make the tea for the rest of the day...

Kicking a Tennis Ball
Trust me, it was a lot more exciting than it sounds. Not really impromptu - seemed to be a game every single morning just before the bell rang for the register.

My secondary school, Mark Hall Comprehensive in Harlow, has two towers, East Block and West Block. At the foot of either side of each tower were about 3 or 4 steps down into a little stairwell area before the main doors. Between the two towers was the library, and on this side we'd play a game that involved everyone who was playing milling around inside this 12' by 12' space. The aim of the game was to kick the ball at the wall, hitting someone on the rebound.

If the ball hit you, you got out of the pit.

If the ball went over the top without hitting the wall, you were out.

If the ball went out, either over the top or back towards the science block, you had to get over there and kick the tennis ball so that it hit the wall - because if you didn't hit the wall, you were out.

There was a set order, someone would often shout the name of the next person, it was all very organised in its chaos.

Countless welts on legs, tennis balls to the bollocks, tactical bunching and dispersal at key moments. Lots of fun. Girl players were few, but those that played were great, and clearly immune to tactical testes shots.

I really want to play this again now. Dammit.

Beer-mat snap
This game works best without warning in a pub with 3 or 4 people.

Collect lots of identical beermats from around your table. Deal them out. Everyone, confused, picks up their beermats. Then you put your beermat down. Next person does too... then shout "SNAP".

Its brilliant.

when i were a lad
at secondary school, we were forced to do the discus and shot put and stuff, so we used our special powers to make it a bit more interesting, thus invented 'pillage' a cross between the discus and crown green bowls. someone threw the jack out and then people 'bowled' or threw the discus trying to get it to land as close to the jack as possible. if it rolled over the jack, it was a rape, if it landed on the jack it was an anal, if it rolled across 2 or more other discus it was a gang rape, and if it landed it a a pile of 2 or more other discus it was a gang bang.


Incredibly tasteless, but it was fantastic fun, shame about our filthy minds and words, and my spelling

eye spy
When on holiday in Dublin with the ex, we devised a game; spot the leprecoon. At the end of the weekend, I had won by 4.5 to 3 - they are rarer than rocking horse shit!

Schoolboy fun
The first game we have requires a bit of explanation. At school we have staircases which go in one direction, then there's a turn and they double back downwards. For some retarded reason, the stairs in the south wing have a little balcony, perfect for dropping things on people below.

One day we had all had far too much coke and invented the game. The first person goes to the bottom of the stairs without their bag. Then the other two stand on the balcony. Then the first person runs up the stairs as fast as they can, while the other two throw their bags at them. They have to pick up the bags if they conceivably can and then run back down again. The game ends when somebody realises that most of their delicate worldly possessions are in the bag that just rolled down the stairs.

The other game we have is called We Will Rock You. The musical We Will Rock You was just a bunch of Queen songs stuck together - we play with whatever band we feel like, sticking their song titles together in an attempt to create a coherent plot. And we're so much better than Ben Elton it hurts :D

it sounds very sad...
and is. Incredibly so.

But this is real. My girlf and various of our mates play a game called 'Raisin or panda'.

One person asks the question ("Raisin or panda?") while everyone else guesses.

The person says which they were thinking about.

Game over.

Keeping the telesales person on the line.
If you are not in a hurry, it is your duty to play this game. The idea is that anyone who phones you with an unsolicited offer, must be kept busy as long as possible for two reasons: 1- The bastard company who made them phone you have to pay wages by the hour. 2- You might save someone who is busy from getting a call.

Some tactics to start you off:

1/ "I no speakee good english."
2/ "I am partially deaf. Can you repeat that?"
3/ "I am insane. Are you my mother?"
4/ "I'll just go and get the homeowner." (Leave phone off hook, and go back to whatever you were doing)
5/ "Yes, I'm really interested."
6/ "Mumble mumble"
7/ "I'm going to break your script. What's the weather like where you are?"

(or combinations of the above...)

My best is only 3 minutes 26 seconds.

Alright it maybe didn't happen in *every* one, but...
... during my psychology degree exams, I used to play 'make up the psychologist(s)'. I'd remembered in A-level classes that our tutor said you could "probably just make up some names and dates for a study... as long as it makes some kinda sense..."

What a field day I had...specially as 'real' psychologists always seem to have fuck-ridiculous names *anyway*, the joy of imagining some crumpled old academic marker reading that

"Obadiah-Lollipop & Finsherd (1995) showed that memory can be positively influenced by the appearance of ginger biscuits"

... was absolutely lovely.

Shame about that 3rd class classification then really...

Sadistic Darts
Play darts.

At the end of each game, all the other players get to give the loser 'digs' in his playing arm.

Repeat.

(Loser tends to start crying if you played too long.)

Furniture Liberation Front
When I was 13, I was the leader of my school's cell of the Furniture Liberation Front.

Every lunchtime, we attempted to gain entry to the Technology lab (either by throwing a first year through the window to open the door from the inside, fiddling with the lock, or hiding someone in an unlocked cupboard before lunchbreak).

Once we had entered, we stacked all the tables and chairs possible in the entrance lobby to the lab, locked the door and waited outside for the wanker of a teacher to come back and throw a hissy fit.

Well, we considered it a game...

Human Jenga/
Me and a mate thought up this one at work one day when managment decided to cram 3 of us into a really small van. Well the bloke in the middle put his legs up on the dash and proceded to fall asleep leaving his legs in a level position. So me and mate decided to start pileing things (paperwork, pens, flask, cups, anything to hand really) on his legs.

We took it in turns to see how high we could get the pile without it falling or bloke waking up causing said jenga like affect with pile of stuff in which looser has to clear up

".... is gay"
My football team has a really stupid game were one person says another players (who must be in earshot) name and the words; ".... is gay". whoever hears this must also say; ".... is gay". If the "gay" person hears this then whoever said it is then declared gay.

The "Next Customer Please" Game
Two rounds of this game, every time you visit the supermarket.

It's you versus the other customers in the queue.

Round 1 - when unloading your shopping from the basket or trolley, try not to place the 'Next Customer Please' sign in front of your shopping. Making the person in front do it is considered 'winning'.

Round 2 - do not put a 'Next Customer Please' sign after your shopping. If the person in the queue behind you does it themselves, then you win.

Pennies
My grandpa made up this game where he'd throw a bunch of pennies into the grass and my sister and I would have to find them. It was fun and all until my dad found the coins with the lawnmower.

In my town there is a flavoured vodka bar
where you can buy six shots in a high-school-chemistry-esque wooden rack.
If you order five pineapple vodkas and one chilli vodka (which tastes absolutely disgusting), since they look the same, you can play a game of "Russian Roulette" with five friends.

The Harry Potter Game
this is more of a drinking game we played once, but now we play to constantly.

Watch the Harry Potter films, or read aloud from the books. And whenever the words Harry, Potter, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Muggle, Dumbledore are mentioned you take one drink. If Voldemort is mentioned you must finish the whole drink.

It was like dying.
