Best games as a kid. - What were your favorites?

[Arthur Dent]

Silent Ball was my favorite in school, even though teachers just used it as a way to shut us all up at the end of the day...

Reminds me of one our teachers would use. "7 UP". The teacher picked 7 students and had them stand in front of the class. The teacher would turn off the lights and make everyone else put their head on their desk, cover their eyes, and stick up one thumb. Then, the 7 students would walk around the classroom and each one would push down one students thumb and then go back to the front. Then the 7 who got picked (had their thumb pushed down) had to guess who did it. If you got it right, the student had to sit down and you got to walk around and pick someone. I think the biggest lesson form that game was how to cheat.
