What games did you play with your siblings growing up?

Capture the flag and Cow Tipping! Two big ones!

CPT (Join to see) There is (5) years between me and my brother. I use to terrorize him when were younger. I don't ever remember playing any board games back in those days until I had children of my own. I do remember making my brother do everything for me when I was 13-year-old and he was 8. When he refused one day I hung him up by his underwear on a hook in the garage. My mother had to come from work and of course that was the end of my reign at the home front and we got shipped off the YMCA. That is where I got my first leadership position at age 13 as a Junior Leader ($1.09 an hour part-time) during the summer. It so the journey began for me in leadership, just because I hung my brother on a hook in the garage!

Smear the queer (which is a football game with three or more people. Dodge Ball, hid and seek, basketball, football, marbles, spades, black jack, I declare war, go fish, pencil fighting, (rock ,paper, scissor ) kick ball. Hungry hungry hippo, operation, clue, monopoly,and allot more. We stayed busy and stayed outside.

My mom believed in nonresistance which is something like pacifism. As a result we were not allowed to play any games with guns. No cowboys and Indians, etc. So we had a game of cops and robbers, but much more like real life. And the "robber" generally got very roughed up in the arrest! We played lots of tag. Some rougher versions, some not so. In "Pine tree tag," "it" had a pine bough that he would tag with. We would scavenge bicycle parts and build bikes out what pieces we could find, and then hold bicycle demo derbies. My brother has a scar on his cheek from jousting on bicycles. We decided it should be safe because we used mullein stalks instead of sticks. We would also stand battle lines and throw mullein stalks at each other as spears. Mom said no guns, she forgot to mention primitive weapons! That's besides the time spent wrestling and boxing.

That's the rough games. We also spent a lot of time hacking trees with hatchets, riding bicycles, building and flying kites, and "making things." We never finished the dugout canoe. Or our cabin in the woods. Or the half underground greenhouse we read about in mother earth news, and started digging behind the house.

I had five older sisters. They enjoyed a game called 'Steal Joe's Food'. They all got pretty good at it.

CPT (Join to see) I played hide-n-seek, stick-ball, basketball and yes Hang-man. Those were the days. Thanks for posting.

My older brother played a game of his called--"Terry go get this and that"--I played "fetch or get pounded".

BB gun fights, Apple fights, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, sledding, fishing, hunting, watching the Bears at the dump.

Oh but David we did rhino tipping///\\\

I was the youngest of three. The game played most of the time was Punching Bag. I was the punching bag. I was really good at that game.
