A game i played when i was young was called old witches cauldron.
one person was a witch and had to tag other players and was called the witch.
Players would then stand in a jumping jack pose(but not actualy jumping).
The witch then had to move the person over to a specific area (the cauldron) if the witch does so the player is out of the game.
Other players can free players who have been tagged by crawling under the tagged players legs. Witch wins by catching every one. players win by rescuing so many tagged players.
With more players, more witches.

We play this in America, though since there are so few minis around here, we use Volkswagen Beetles.  Some call them bugs, and when you see one you shout "SLUG BUG!" and hit your friend's arm.  If your friend wants revenge, he has to wait until he sees a Volkswagen Beetle before you and call it.
 
The Mini Cooper is more popular than other Mini models here though.  Could we be seeing a Mini surge in the states?!

Interesting. In Ontario we played the same game, but only with YELLOW Volkswagen Beetles. We'd shout "YELLOW PUNCH BUGGY!" and punch our friends in the shoulder. You could keep punching them until they yelled "SAFETY!". To counter people from punching you back if you spotted the car first, most people yelled "YELLOW PUNCH BUGGY, NO PUNCH BUGGY BACK!".

I wonder how many different names this game has.

I thought you were from NFL?

Also the game was supposed to just be punch buggy back when volkswagon beetles were a rare site. Then it got ruined when they rereleased them.

Pogs were the shit, I had this super nice 8 ball slammer that kicked the shit out of anyones stack, but some asshole threw it down an old school elevator shaft when he lost.

Also did the finger skateboard thing, but I was more interested in taking them apart and putting them back together again with that tiny ass wrench to actually learn any tricks.

Hrrrm. Also ball wall.

No, here's my quick life history:

Age 0-2: Poland (Naleczow)
Age 2-4: Switzerland (Bern)
Age 4-6: Poland (Naleczow)
Age 6-14: Canada (Ontario)
Age 14-Now: Canada (Nova Scotia)

I play punch buggy and just punch my friend in the face. It's great.

We just do it with all yellow cars. They're a pretty rare site over here.

me and my friends used to play a game called presidents and assassins.

You split into teams. One team are the assassins and the other team are the president and presidents guards. One member has to elect himself president and the others on that team are his guards and they have to protect him.

usually we would have about 6 a side and we used to play at night around my neighbourhood. Basically the rules of the game is that the assassins have to kill the president and the presidents guards must protect him and also play offencively. If the the assassins managed to kill the president, its game over, but if all the president and presidents guards manage to kill all the assassins, then they win.

When I say kill, I mean don't really mean KILL. your lifeline is a plastic bag wrapped around your arm. If it's removed, your dead. Some people were clever and tried tieing it on really tight and things got real physical. A few actual fights broke out, which is +10 awesome when you're 13.

We also played a few variatons on it called Fox and Hounds. Once again you split into teams, Foxes and Hounds. The Hounds are the offensive and the Foxes and defensive and are trying to get home. There is a designated base, which the foxes must reach. If hound comes up to you and grabs you, he must say "Fox and Hounds 123 'your name'" then you're dead. The game's up when either all of you are dead, or some got back to the base. When no one is left playing, the teams switch. The winners are the team with the most foxes that returned home.
