!!Games in this line include
* ''(The Game of) Cootie'' (1949)
* ''Don't Spill the Beans'' (1967)
* ''Don't Break the Ice'' (1968)
* ''Ants in the Pants'' (1969)
!!Learn the Tropes:
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Two of the body parts required in ''Cootie'' are legs and antennae. In most editions, some of the options for legs include shoes, while the antennae has a hat or two as alternatives. Some editions go a step further, putting glasses on a pair of eyes.
* AnimateInanimateObject: ''Don't Spill the Beans'' prominently features a jar with hands, eyes, and a mouth. Furthermore, on most boxart, the beans are also depicted with faces, bouncing around somewhat carelessly.
* DangerThinIce: ''Don't Break the Ice'' centers around knocking blocks of ice loose while keeping the guy in the center from falling through. The game ends when someone's move causes the figure to fall through.
* FirehouseDalmatian: While subtle, editions of ''Ants in the Pants'' featuring the dalmation have him wearing a fire helmet.
* PunBasedTitle: ''Ants in the Pants'', ''Don't Break the Ice'', and ''Don't Spill the Beans'' are all puns on American-English idioms[[note]]being antsy, getting to know someone, and giving away a secret, respectively[[/note]], but also depict the object of the game.
* SquirrelsInMyPants: Or ants, rather. The point of ''Ants in the Pants'' is to launch ants into the plastic pants prop. No, the guy on the box doesn't seem to mind.
* ThemedStockBoardGame: ''Ants in the Pants'' had a themed re-release to ''Franchise/SpongebobSquarepants'' in 2005, while ''Don't Break the Ice'' saw releases themed to ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'' in 2013 and 2019.
