I was recently at a party in the Netherlands, and was able to completely
derail the host's children (1 8YO boy, 1 12YO girl) with my (6YO) son's
"Give me 5" jokes/tricks. Unfortunately, I could only remember 3 of them
(see below). He suggested that I post a note to the group asking for
suggestions. Anyway, it beats the acriomonious threads.

Can anyone else contribute more?

1) Give me 5...
On the side...
Way up high...
Down low..
*You're too slow* (jerks hand away)

2) Give me 5...
On the side...
Cut the pickle (puts fingertips of both hands together, indicating that the
other person should "cut" down between them)
*Tickle, tickle* (tickles the other person)

3) (This one may be specific to 6YO boys:-)
Give me 5...
On the side...
Down below...
Up above...
*You're in love!* (giggles)

This one from my 6-year old godson,

Give me five,
Way up high,
In the hole (make a round hole with your hand)
You got soul (while grabbing the hand they've put "in the hole")

My daughter loves:

"Give me five..."

"Up high..." (Raise your hand up high)

"Down low..." (Lower your hand)

"Your too slow." (Move hand before it can be hit)


We also had this one growing up:

"Give me five..."

"On the side..."

"In the hole..." (Turn your hand on the side and make a hole with your
index finger and thumb)

"Your a mole."

From Mikel (age 8):

Gimme 5...
Up high... (high-five formation)
Down low,
(pull hand away before other person can hit it) Too slow!

Sorry if I'm repeating one; I missed the original. I'll pull the "tickle,
tickle" one on Mikel tonight.

When my older son had a tendancy to slap, we started a high-five game:

High five! (hand up high)
Low five! (hand low, palm up)
Back five! (arm backward, palm up)
Front five! (palm forward)

A few rounds of that would take his mind off his desire to hit.
