What were some of the crazy fads at your school? Fads that were not influenced by fashion or the media. Like Batman or wearing colored shoe laces.

In 6th grade it was chewing tissue paper the kind like for arts and crafts.

And later carrying around a stuffed animal. That trend was for the girls.

In 7th grade it was charades.

In 2nd grade it was drawing on your arm with markers.

Firing spitballs.

Sword fighting with pencils.

none that i remember, except the pok'emon card game fad and drawing on desks

This.

I thought of some other ones.

3rd grade:
Color changing markers
Chinese Jump rope (mostly a girl trend)
drinking 100% juice

Swirlies and wedgies.

An "S" written in a totally different way.

I know it's an S. Why was that particular different way so popular to scratch into desks/draw on the wall?

Boredom?
