Rally: Ok, this one wasn't actually part of PE, but it's weird enough to get a mention. There was a big rope swing on campus that you swung on from a stump.

The players would line up behind the stump. First in line would swing, land on the other side (behind a "safe" line) and then run to get to the back of the line. The next person would have to catch the rope on the way back, swing, and keep it going. Fail to reach the safe zone on your turn and you're out. The line shrinks and it becomes harder to run back to make it to your turn, eventually it becomes an all-out sprint just for a chance to make it.

Also, while you're swinging, anything you do to the rope before you land is fair game. There were techniques to send it back at an angle, or whip it back incredibly hard, or have it kinda stall out in the middle. The next player would have to just jump for it or be out. Often this resulted in eating dirt.

Hanging from that rope so often gave me really toned arms as an early teen lol
