Was just thinking about this. We used to have some epic dirt clod wars, but they would get pretty violent. Several busted heads and faces back in the day.

Bottle rocket wars were the best.
Ours included roman candles for close quarters combat.

black walnut wars.
I busted a kids glasses with one once. His parents banned me from the yard for a while.
We would raid other kids forts and take their stash after chasing them off.

We had pine cone and bottle rocket wars in my neighborhood.
We got fancy with our bottle rocket wars and made hand-held bottle rocket launchers out of PVC pipe. Damn things were pretty accurate too.

I remember playing once, and someone took a dart to the back.

We had acorn wars. To celebrate the victor, we’d hit an unloaded shotgun shell with a sledgehammer. Then we’d play football/baseball until the parents rang us in.
Good times.
Good times.

Or a boat???? Who knew you could but plywood??? They just left it laying all over construction sites. Sometimes they'd have it nailed down to the roof or the side of the house to keep us from getting it but hell a 8 year old in need of a piece of plywood and stopping cause of no nails....

What about fricking red rover???? WHo in their right mind dreamt that shite up and why are they no commemorated in song and story for coming up with one of the funnest games ever played by kids...if you had to wear husky sized pants. If you didn't it was probably terrifying to see the fat kid come charging at you and you with no where to hide LOL....

I remember once there was an old golf cart in the woods near our house and me and a friend thought we could modify it into a go kart. We hooked a trailer to the 4 wheeler and went and got the thing out of the woods, then walked to the farm shop and got the service truck with a torch and welder on the bed. I had an old go kart with a good engine but the frame had broken. Took the gas engine off, torched up the golf cart and removed the batteries and electric motor and were trying to install the gas engine behind the seat. My dad came home from work to 13 year old me running the welder on the service truck trying to weld a giant steel homemade bumper to this old golf cart. I got a “what the frick do you think you’re doing” from him
If he was like most Dad's in the day he would have then seen what you were doing and showed you how and make some bad arse modifications before going in and drinking a beer LOL.

I hit a kid in the knee with one. One of my least favorite moments of my childhood. Poor kid had to get stitches
The key to that game was for everyone to be behind the guy throwing the dart. Unfortunatly,,. . .

Not playing but when I was 7 years old my 2 sisters and I lived with our Dad while our Mama was out "finding herself" (As far as I know she has been looking for the last 60 years LOL). Anyhow we lived in a single wide trailer that was not skirted and had concrete blocks stacked up for entry at the front door, nothing at the back door. It was what one might call not a pretty home. My dad worked about 4 hours away and stayed gone from Monday Morning around 230 AM until Friday Night at around 730 PM. My 13 year old sister was in charge.
Apparently Daddy forgot to pay the light bill of just did not pay it. The power company came out and put a boot on the meter while we were at school on Monday. When we got home it was colder than a well diggers arse and Daddy was 4 hours away and we did not have a phone and would not have known where to call if we did. I had seen Daddy do it before so I went to the meter, cut the tab off the base, removed the meter, took off the boot and reinstalled the meter. Wallah....we had power again. Until Tuesday. They came back on Tuesday and took the meter. No problem, I had seen Daddy fix that also...I took a piece of 12/2 romex, skint out enough of it to jump the meter base, and plugged in the house...did not know enough to turn off the main. had a pretty good arc. They did it again Wednesday and when I fixed it again they came out Thursday and removed the line side conductors....I couldn't fix that at 7.
Friday night Daddy comes in and its pitch black...and withing 30 minutes of his arrival the sherrif is there arresting him for stealing power LOL...he had to take the charge because it would have been child neglect for certain had he not. Fince him about $50 and he was home before midnight. I was terrified I was going to get my arse whupped...instead he told me how proud he was that I had taken care of my sisters LOL. I could have easily been killed but the lord looks out for idiots and children, especially idiot children.
If someone did what my Dad did to provide for us the county would step in and destroy everyone's life today. As it turns out we all survived fine....

I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. It’s a miracle that my generation made it out alive. Today’s generation would be flabbergasted at some of the shite that we used to do.

We did bb gun wars. One-pump rule in effect. My dad worked at Exxon, so we always had safety glasses. Still managed to nearly put my eye out. A BB bounced off of a brick wall and hit my eye lid.
My daily routine was:
School
Football practice
Basketball for hours
Home for dinner
Maybe do my homework
Shower
Bed
During the summer, you could throw in some hide-and-go-seek that covered about ten yards. Mostly played at night.

In Central Florida, we had orange wars. They would start with fallen oranges but they never lasted long.
