Bundling was called a "pile on" where I came from. If someone said "pile on" everyone leapt on them. Hence asking people "Hey, what rhymes with nylon?"

At secondary school some lads made a snowball about 8 feet in diameter by pushing it round the entire rugby field. They took it in turns riding it while they pushed it around. Then someone crashed it into one of the mobile buildings and put the wall in.

My final year at primary school, first we were banned from playing tennisball football on the playground, with the excuse that it prevented other people from using it. Then they banned us from playing british bulldog because it was 'too violent'. Infact, they ultimately banned us from playing any games that required 'running', as we might knock over and hurt one of the 'little ones'. Come the summer time, when we all moved out to the cricket pitch (the official school pitch I might add), we were banned from playing cricket, because we might hit the ball far enough that we might hit one of the 'little ones' who were the best part of 300ft away at that point.. and really, if an 11 year old kid, can hit a cricket ball that far, he should be seriously thinking about taking it up as a career.
The little Hitlers at my primary school first banned us from using proper footballs as some windows got smashed. Then they stopped us using 3/4 size (or whatever) size footballs because someone kicked it over the building once and it hit a dinner lady on the other side. Then they banned us from using tennis balls/sponge balls when we kept getting them stuck on the roof and then would roll into the guttering. So in the end we played football with a pebble. ******* pebbles. Unbelievable
At secondary school we had a game called Painball.
In was essentially football, but on a very small court (5m squared approx) and instead of a ball we bought a small bottle of drink (never could tell what it was meant to be) from the canteen and kicked that around.
Instead of tactics it was literally "kick with your legs as hard as you can, if you hit someone else then that's their fault". Eventually the bottle would explode and a new bottle would be purchased.
One of my mates was the best at it, he didn't seem to care about pain and could kick higher than I was tall.
Good times.

ticki stand still is what we called it.
we also had something called ticki chainy were if you got ticked you had to hold hands with who got you forming a chain. when there were 20+ playing the chain got big
and with 5 classes all playing on a small playground there was lots of people getting taken out.it was all good fun.
one time we had a pile on and half of a secondary school year did it on 1 guy(100ish people), he was left there all dinner time and through 2 lessons until someone realised were he was. it was very funny at the time but he could have been seriously hurt. he was in the end ok though.

Not really the same thing, but after school one day I went around to a friends house for tea, and his Dad is a bit of a nutter.
He likes making various go-karts and buggies powered from the old 12v lawnmower motors and a leisure battery or two, anyway he offered to take a kart for us to play on in the local playing field / park.
It was brilliant until my friend had the excellent idea of getting the back wheel of the kart up against the outside rim of the roundabout, with his Dad operating it and us on the roundabout. From 0 to instapuke in about 10 seconds, it accelerated the roundabout at a mental speed.
Never felt that sick in a long time. He still has the buggies etc too.
