Crazy spacey tasty dark
Last one asleep stays on the ark
Spinning sinning grinning bite
Last one awake stays in the night

Wurmsign. Each kid claps in a rhythm. First kid to repeat a clap is out, "eaten by the Wurm".

Skipping rocks: just like the earth version but MAN can you get some distance on the low-grav colonies.

Creak, creak
Squeak, squeak
In the vents they sneak, sneak
Cry, cry
Sigh, sigh
Hear them and you'll die, die

Monkey-Foot - A 0G form of soccer mixed with squash, played with a soft, palm-sized ball. Named so for the fact that many long-time spacers have been modified with opposable toes.

Diving - A game for the older kids. How many airlocks away do you reckon you could climb without an air tank? How about with the thermoregulation turned off on your suit? Divers dare each other to longer and more dangerous feats of EVA. Common on larger space stations or asteroid colonies

Turn around it won't attack
Eat your heart, eat your brain

A clap of medium complexity, featuring thumb-locks, jams, tri-beat slaps, and in some variations a vigorous one-handed shake. The rhymes vary, but the most popular is the recitation of a popular station-side commercial jingle. Those with a classical education may recognise it as The Scottish Play's 'Sound and Fury' soliloquy, rewritten to sell ice lollies.
