A great game for 2 people to play together. The 2 players face each other and monkey grip fingers with each other (just one hand – both using the same hand though), leaving thumbs standing up. Then each move your thumb from side to side chanting ‘1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war’. You then have a battle to trap your opponents thumb beneath yours (without hurting them!) and hold it down for a count of 10 seconds. All the while your opponents thumb is down they can struggle to release it, if they manage to do so, you should try once again to trap their thumb. The winner is the person who holds their opponents thumb down. Play for the best of 5.
