I can relate to all of these posts and the crazy thing is the idea of manufacturing fun out of stupid invented games is probably completely foreign to my kids.
I remember when I was in elementary school there was this abandoned development or something about a mile from my house and some enterprising person had plowed the dirt into a makeshift track with some big-ass jumps where we used to ride our bikes. One year on the last day of school we convinced my degenerate bus driver to take us for a few laps off the jumps on our yellow school bus. Kids flying around all over the place, bouncing off the ceiling. The 80s were great.

A bit of a one off and I was a bit too young to remember this right, but......
Kids in the neighborhood would take the metal tennis ball cans and put some lighter fluid in the bottom of the can, load a tennis ball, and then light the fluid to make a one shot tennis ball roman candle.
I think there may have been a small hole on the bottom of the tennis can to get the match to light the fluid.
I think my job as one of the younger kids was to recover tennis balls.
Then they started selling selling tennis balls in plastic cubes and the fun was over.

That's the most dangerous thing I've ever heard! Ha! But If you tell me someone died from it can you erase my "ha?"

Grape wars! In an empty lot up the street grew a wild grape vine. When they were ripe everyone would load up and proceed to hurl grape at one another, kinda like the tomato thing in Spain, moms were not too happy when we were done.
Another was whiffle ball in the street, no base running, past the pitcher-single, past Richie's driveway-double etc. lot of fun, the dads joined in occasionally
