but I played Mailbox Baseball a couple times.

Federal offense!

Door Bell ditch for me, heard other variations but nothing derogatory only really thought it was that fun when I was 8 :P

as for mailbox baseball we used pumpkins instead of bats, missed most of the time though, so people would wake up to an orange gourd smear across their driveway

Nicky Nicky Nine Doors here, too. I have no idea what it means... apparently nothing, so far as anyone can tell. How typically Canadian

Yep same as me.

I never played any of these games, but I knew of them. I never knew their names.

My parents told us, when we were children, that they played games like this. One was putting a tooth pick in the door bell to wedge it so it would keep making noise. Another was to put a flaming bag of dog poop, so that the person would stomp on it to put it out and get poop on their feet/shoes.

It was "ding-dong ditching" when I was a teen, but we'd always leave cookies or some other treat at the door...

Personally, I like your son's version a bit better, but I'm a prankster at heart.

OMG!! That was so much fun - I love ding dong ditching when I was a kid :-) I agree with the PP that it's too bad there aren't many kids out running around our neighborhoods on a warm summer evening.

I LOVE the cookie idea!

Okay, I know I am late. But such fond memories of my days playing

Knicky Knicky Nine Doors

I remember when I was a kid, you had knock on nine doors to win. I always thought someone was named Nicky.....
