Impromptu Games You PlayMe and the missus were at London Zoo the other day. We invented a great game called "Spot the Paedo." We counted about 8 single men with suspicious facial hair before the end of the day. What games have you made up on the spot to play with your friends?

Squirrel fishingGive this a go if you get the opportunity, it's ace.
Equipment required:
1)Big ball of string
2)Tracker bar or similar
3)Bread (for groundbaiting)
4)Casting point (3rd floor balcony of halls of residence was ours, has to be fairly high up)
5)Place where there are squirrels.
This time of year is ideal as they are all up and about looking for the nuts they've buried. Chuck a few bits of bread around to get 'em interested. Wrap a small piece of tracker bar in string (has to be well wrapped up). Make a lassoo type coil of string and cast off (further the better). Take in the slack. Slowly drag the tracker piece near the feeding squirrels, it's much tastier than the bread so they go for it. Don't let them get it until they are directly below you and there is not much slack on the string. Once you have a bite pull up on the string very gently until hey presto you've caught a squirrel! They hate letting go, we managed to lift one up to the first floor balcony. Brilliant. I'm kind of stretching the definition of impromptu, but all the items needed we happened to possess at the time of thinking it up. Hours of fun!
