Couple more
While a joint's going round, instead of passing it you yell something, usually a name, like "Robert!" and whoever yells "Smith!" first gets it. However, it has to be the one you're thinking of, so if it's Bob we usually get through Marley, Hoskins, Kelso...

Then there was one time we had this eccentric English teacher after our good one left- he'd just come back from about thirty years in Milawii (the African country, I can't spell) and was a very odd fellow indeed. We had the game of one person coughing then everyone else doing it, which culminated in a five minute coughing session which left everyone very horse, but brought his nervous breakdown forward a week. Our crowning achievement however was Sleepy Time. One of the class would stand up when his back was turned and shout sleepy time, we'd all put our heads down and snore. Not so much games as mental torture, but tell that to whoever invented Boggle.

I had the game of not setting my watch an hour back as it would save me time when I went abroad and when the clocks went forward again, and challenged others to do the same to see who could win by not getting infuriated by it but no one else saw the point. I won it this weekend :D
