Games you only need your hands and other players to play.
We all know rock paper scissors, thumbwars and chopsticks but I’m looking for niche.
There’s many obscure or local ones that get passed down through generations or shared around the playground and I’d love to learn something new.
whats the one called, maybe hot hands? one person puts out both hands palm up and the other person puts both hands on top of them palm down. the bottom person tries to quickly slap a hand of the top person, while the top person tries to avoid the hand slap. once a slap connects, they switch sides. pro-tip: remove hand jewelry first.
another one that might not count is paper football, as it needs a table and a triangular folded piece of paper. one player tries to slide the paper so that it stops partially off the table without falling off. if it does then they take a field goal flick in the air shot while the opponent makes goal posts with their hands together.
another one that might not count needs a table and 3 coins is table soccer. flick slide one coin between the other two until in scoring range, then the opponent makes a goalpost and goalie hand formation with 2 pinkies and an index finger. a successful shot on goal can hurt the knucles.
I’ve only played a version of the first where the bottomperson has to tickle the palms of the top person. That way you can like play around with faking slap attenpts by stopping for an instant but not slap, or varying the tickle speed. Adds another dimension to it.
