Snowball fights were the norm, I also remember sliding down hills made of sheer ice.

In the fall crab apples fell from the trees, throwing them was fine but stuck onto the end of a 3 foot stick you could get a lot more leverage and much more speed.

In the spring hockey card were folded multiple times over to create "V"s that could be shot with elastic bands like a slingshot. The hockey cards were made harder by taping with electrical tape and longer thicker elastic bands were used. It eventually led up to paperclips being embedded within the hockey card projectiles and being hit meant getting a decent sized welt. I think that it was at this point that the teachers got involved and put a stop to it. No suspensions, no expulsions, no police. just kids having fun.

Spit balls through McDonalds straws were always a hit as well.
