When you were a kid or teen at school, what was the stupidest "game" that the kids used to play?

For me it was this game when a kid would literally lie down on their side on the floor, and then another kid would kick them repeatedly as hard as they could in the stomach, and whoever could hold out the longest without tapping out won.

Like they would set a timer, then write down the time on a piece of paper, and compare the scores of everyone involved.

This game was stupid as hell because... well, do I even need to say why? Lol.

Besides being stupid it's also dangerous as hell because you could end up severely injuring or even killing someone by kicking them repeatedly in the stomach.

And believe it or not, when the kids were playing this game it was when I was in high school when I was 17 years old in the 11th grade. Meaning those kids were about to be legal adults in a year or two, and they're doing this stupid shit? YIKES!

And it was usually just the boys doing this, though the girls made up a "less dangerous variation" of the game... where the premise was more or less the same but instead of kicking in the stomach they'd repeatedly stomp on their fingers as hard as they could before tapping out.

Also incredibly stupid. Less dangerous compared to the boys' version, but also incredibly stupid.

They used to play a hide and seek tree climbing game at the bottom of the school oval away from the teachers. When the 'It' person stopped counting, they would have to climb up after the other kids. The school banned the game after a kid ended up in hospital with a fractured skull.

@Thevy29 LOL. That is dumb, and also dangerous. With the "game" in my story, funnily enough I don't remember any kids getting seriously injured. Literal kicks to the stomach and yet no injuries. But yeah. Fractured skulls are no joke.

@EzraIsShy76028 Another grade tried to play a similar version of the game, running over the school buildings. It ended when my little brother shattered his arm... Then another group tried on the playground but some kid broke 2 ribs when he tried running down the slippery dip and belly flopped... Quite a few injuries for a school with only 300 students..
