Sock wars: This was basically dodgeball, with some changes. The first change: instead of balls, the gym was strewn with a ton of socks. Easily a hundred. They were tied in knots to give them enough heft to throw. Then there were the buster socks. These were stuffed with a bunch of socks and tied shut so they had force behind them. Each side had a gym mat barricade for people to hide behind and you were supposed to use the buster socks to try and knock down the barricade (you weren't allowed to put it back up again). If you were good, you could coordinate the buster throw with other people to concentrate your firepower.

Each team also had a "Jedi" armed with a hockey stick. If someone got hit by a sock, they had to lie down, but if the Jedi touched you with the hockey stick, you could get back up. Naturally the Jedi was a prime target for socks because if they went down they lost their Jedi powers. But it was hard to hit them because they could block socks with the hockey stick and would often be shielded by the other players. There was a backup Jedi for each team too, who would inherit the stick when the first one went down, but if the backup went down you were out of luck.
