Schaper was really great at incorporating action elements into their games. And many of the game elements served double duty as regular toys outside of the game context. My favorite was Cootie. I love how the designs of those creatures evolved over the years.
I've loved Don't Spill The Beans, Don't Break the Ice and Ants in the Pants. But my fave has always been The Billy Goat game. I got one when I was 7. I have 2 of them in my classroom now. My kids love it.

I used to have Super Jock Basketball, Super Toe Football and Super Stick Hockey games as a kid. A really good friend growing up had Don't Break the Ice and Don' Spill the Beans and we use dot play those all the time while our folks were playing cards in the kitchen.
I think the Super Jock basketball was probably my favorite because I was an only child and could play it solo when no one else was around, so I got the most use out of it.

Definitely Cootie. My uncle and aunt had that, and I'd play it at their house. My kids have the current version of Don't Break the Ice. It's still fun!
