@Farnsworth made me think of this with his OT thread topic yesterday, followed by our oldest’s eighth grade graduation last night.
During the promotion ceremony, all of the eighth grade boys played that game where they try to be the last one to clap. It resulted in several bouts of applause lasting for a minute or two as they kept their game going. Which made me laugh quite a bit, because I’m pretty sure kids have been playing this game for at least 40 years, probably more. But it was clear they thought they invented it.
What similar subversive games did you used to play as a preteen and preteen? What mildly ornery things did you do in school?
