Those remind me of something we used to do...

McDonalds drink lids used to have the McDonald characters impressioned in them (Hamburgler, the french fry guys, the big blue thing, etc.). We'd fill the impression with Elmer's glue, let it dry, and then use markers to 'draw' the character.

Does anyone remember watching Spin & Marty and The Hardy Boys on Mickey Mouse Club?

filling a trash can with water, leaning it on someone's front door, and then knocking was always a blast

Were you also the one who filled a paperbag full of crap, lit it on fire, put it on the porch, rang the bell and then ran like heck?

That reminds me of a friend who's little girl was into jacks. My friend's husband played jacks w/ his daughter a few times and ended up really getting into it. He'd have championship games w/ his daughter and her friends; it was hilarious.

Oh, and in addition to alot of yours, we played pass the message (put a note in a glass to where the next message was, until the one team "found'" the other team....) And release the belgium (til I got bitten by a German Shepard.)
