Games you made up as a kid

That reminds me off "Freeze Tag" where when you are tagged you are frozen with your arms out until someone runs under them. Good times.

We also played Kick ball in gym class. The "base' you ran to was the wall at the other end of the gym. Well one day dude named Greg kicks the ball and takes off full tilt and runs to the wall. He sticks both arms out as he hits in and ends up breaking both of his arms.

And that was the end of indoor kick ball.

I'm sure one of the other four is your wife not saying "ouch" on the honeymoon?

Hmmm, I forgot about that one, but we used to play that one all the time during recess. I remember it was loads of fun, but I can't remember why.

Played "Wall Ball" in Elementary - get into those alcoves around the school where you have 3 walls surrounding you - get a tennis ball, and take turns throwing it against the wall and the other person has to stop it from hitting the back wall - goalie saves and such.

We had a singles court and a doubles court - I remember some of the doubles games got pretty intense. It was a blast.
