Tonight I was watching "How I Met Your Mother, the Slap Bet episode (- best ever!) and was struck (no pun intended) by the number of childhood games that inflict pain.
Slap Bet, Punch Buggy/Slug Bug, Bloody Knuckles, The Circle Game and my childhood favorite Jungle. For Jungle, kids would line up in a long row, arms flailing and slapping and the victim would walk through to the other side. Yes it was a game. Yes that was the whole point. No I wasn't the only victim! :) Did you play any others?
I'm starting to think Slap Bet could discourage gambling problems later in life. See that guy with all the bruises? Don't bet on him!

My friends and I played a game we called 'Slap and Tickle' which, I assure you, is not as dirty as it sounds. It mostly consisted of slapping each others legs and then tickling each other. What?!
