  • These kids suck at it...
    We played it as kids.  Just something you did when standing around talking waiting for other kids to come around to get a better game going or walking down the street to school. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 26, 2017 5:37 PM MDT

  • This reminds me of the wildly, if short lived toy, Clackers. Popular c. 1972.

    LOL! I remember those.  They didn't last long I think because a lot of kids got hurt by them.

    I remember clackers. There was a lot of fuss about kids hurting their wrists with them.

    Yes, including harvesting them from horse chestnut trees and pickling them in vinegar.

  • To determine who will go first, roll the dice. The player with the highest roll will go first. You must obtain a body first and then a head per the Cootie game rules. After the body and head are obtained, you may choose the remaining Cootie pieces in any order.

  • Yep! English woman didn't know what it was and was going to delete because we were teasing about it. We told her it was a game and gave her a link. Never heard another word! LOL. Bloody Yanks!

  • Yes. Today I found out AM practices censorship.   Anyway how could one grow up in the US and not know of "cooties", either the game or the disease?
