We didn't watch cartoons if they were violent but we played these games.
What about giving an Indian Burn?

Smear the Queer was pretty popular when I was growing up.

(For those unfamiliar you get 10-20 kids and one football. The only rule is whoever has the football get crushed by everyone else. )

My step-sisters used to kick my ass a lot. Does that count?

My sons played Smear the Queer.
We played King of the Castle too.

Smear the Queer and Bloody knuckles.

That sounds familiar.... we did the prinking (ouch) ourselves to draw blood... ya remember, a sign of eternal friendship!! Geesh where are my blood sisters???

I have a son who is a runner. His team plays a game that I think is going to ensure I don't become a grandmother.
They stand against a chain link fence and throw rolled up socks at each other. They see who will stand still for the longest. Some of them throw quite hard. It's like darwinism at work. I really reemed him out for this game.

dodge ball

in a class with a couple of kids that had been held not once but twice talk about taking a beating

Haha dodgeball, banned by many schools now. Not here. They have dodgeball tournaments.

At least they're not using wet socks. Our HS football used to do something similar to initiate the incoming freshman team. We called it "Ding!". One guy would walk along the wall of the locker room, while the upperclassmen threw apples, oranges, and other such fruit at him. When hit, he had to yell out "ding!" and immediately change direction. Amazing we never killed anyone...

We also used to use those water balloon slingshots to fire fruit over the school building to the area where the band rehearsed. Almost felt bad about doing that, but then realized it was only the band
