Yeah, I've definitely played that game. It was quite a popular computer game at my primary school, when it was 'free-time' it's like a full-on Marble Blast party going on!  Haha, that's exactly what happened at my school as well.  My Year 3 classroom was right next door to the computer lab, so as soon as the bell went for recess or lunch, everyone used to run into the computer lab at the exact same time and try to log-onto a computer as quick as possible.

Back in Kindergarten and Year 1, my class would play 'Heads down, thumbs up' every Friday during the final 15 minutes of the school day.

Here are a few funny things I can remember from my time in primary and high school: * During a lunch break in Year 5, one of my friends and I wanted to kick a soccer ball around in the back playground, but the only sports equipment left to use was a basketball, so we stupidly decided to kick the basketball around. We only had it for a few minutes, until I accidentally booted the basketball over the school fence. A car that was driving along the side street ran it over, which made the basketball explode. We had no choice but to go to the teacher who was on playground duty and ask her to get the popped basketball that was on the road. After that, we went to the sports equipment teacher and showed him the popped basketball. He called us both "boofheads" and told us to chuck the basketball in the bin, but I decided to keep it and I still have it to this day. I'll upload a photo of it tomorrow. * In my Year 9 English class, we all had to present a presentation/speech in front of everyone else in the class. There wasn't enough time to hear everyone's presentation within the one hour, so myself and three other kids in my class had to go back to the classroom during our lunch break and present it in front of our teacher. Even though my speech went two minutes overtime and I presented it in front of just three people, I got the top mark in the class (19/20). Everyone else in my class was ripped off. Don't know why, but that squished basketball story has me IRL cracking up right now. Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Back in Kindergarten and Year 1, my class would play 'Heads down, thumbs up' every Friday during the final 15 minutes of the school day. We used to play "Heads down, thumbs up" quite often as well. I used to prefer playing that over "Sleeping lions". Don't know why, but that squished basketball story has me IRL cracking up right now. Thanks for the laugh this morning! Haha. Glad to hear you enjoyed reading it!

Some stuff I recall from my elementary school years.
-In 4th grade we had a sub who one of the boys decided it would be a good idea to prank her with a whoopie cushion on her chair. Every time he got it blown up and ready to go, it would go flat all by itself so the prank was a flop.
-In 6th grade we had an indoor recess that fell on April Fool's Day and everyone was in the mood to participate. The teacher was out of the room in the class across the pod from ours and some of the kids were trying to haul his desk into the bathroom. One of the staff members put a stop to it obviously.
-Our school also had a wooded area to play in and in the lower grades I remember playing fort in the bushes.

We use to have Analog TVs in our classrooms, and on wet/hot days we used to watch. I can't remember if it was a promo, but I distinctly remember something to do with Big Brother, (maybe a midday repeat), that we were watching in Year 5. Probably not the most appropriate kids programme. Also, the "Secret S" was big. I also remember playing Kid Pix in school too!

I'm surprised to hear that your teacher even considered playing Big Brother to the class! If it was the actual show itself, surely it must have been tape edited? It wouldn't have been appropriate at all.

It's probably for the best that the prank didn't go to plan.

It's probably for the best that the prank didn't go to plan. She wasn't aware of the whoopie cushion and it was a lame prank anyway. She'd have probably thought, "boys will be boys" then again some teachers get too offended by kids being less than perfect.

There’s a bear in there, and a electric chair.
There are people with aids, and hand grenades.
Open wide, commit sucide, it’s Gay School.
This was of the most NSFW-sounding school chants of all time.

In middle school my class used to play this simple word game called FreeRice whenever we finished an activity early. We were all so addicted to it and PROUD acting like we fed a whole army with grains of rice

This was something I thought of earlier this evening. In retrospect, isn't it funny to think how so many kids are under the impression that simply rubbing two sticks together will start a fire? I know I definitely used to think that was the case when I was younger and plenty of other kids at my primary school did as well. Kids would just grab any pair of sticks/branches that happened to be on the ground near them and they would then suddenly start rubbing the sticks against each other really fast. They thought the friction would create sparks and start a fire. I can even remember a few kids claiming to have "seen" smoke come from the sticks after they had rubbed them together.

From Kindergarten until Year 3, our classes use to do "news day" (show and tell elsewhere), where on each day of the week (mine was on Wednesday) you would tell the class what you've been up to during the weekend or bring something to show in class.

Oh, yes. Same! I remember doing exactly this too. I think I may have made up a few things along the way from memory (particularly if I did absolutely nothing on a certain weekend). It was mentioned earlier here, but "heads down, thumbs up" was another class favourite at my school also!
