As part of their crash course on Earth life, Sam and Cam decided to teach the resident aliens a bunch of children's games. Too bad they couldn't find a game they could win.

1. It wasn't hide and seek. Although Daniel's hiding places (under the desk or beside the bookshelf) usually sucked and Vala was more interested in being found anyway, it was Teal'c who ruined the win for Sam and Cam. The man could hide in plain sight, wearing a neon belt and Christmas lights...

2. It wasn't stickball. A lifetime of training made it too easy for Teal'c to be the team's star batter, despite Cam pulling out his special two-bounce spinning pitch that had been declared illegal by the kids back home. The stick didn't make quite the same clatter on concrete as it had outside in the street, but it was close enough. And they only busted a few lights playing.

3. It was almost kickball. Vala couldn't (or wouldn't) run the bases the right way and Daniel almost always kicked a fly straight to the pitcher. The game was close, but Daniel kicked a lucky home run that had his team ahead when the game was called on account of an unauthorized offworld activation.

4. Freeze tag was a draw. There was a lot of cheating on both sides.

5. What started as a relatively dignified game of croquet degenerated rapidly into Sam and Cam's version of Calvinball: Cam had hidden a bucket of water balloons in an easily accessible location, and Sam almost managed to yell the score (oogy to boogy) without giggling. They'd had to do it; it was the only game they figured they could win. Vala was the quickest to catch on to the rules, of course, but Daniel refused to wear the mask (it didn't sit well underneath his glasses) and Teal'c refused to sing the "I'm Sorry" song and stayed in the penalty box for most of the game.

1) Trivial Pursuit. Current events, sports and science are their easiest wedges to acquire and the ones none of the others ever got. Vala tried to beat them once by slipping in a copy of Disney Trivial Pursuit thinking her Princess knowledge would give her a leg up, but Sam’s photographic memory for song lyrics brought her down.
2) Cribbage. Daniel and Vala could both keep up with the math, but card games were not enough action for Vala and halfway through she’d sexually harass Daniel and put him off his game. Teal’c just plain wouldn’t play as he found the game to be pointless.
3) Volleyball. Beaches, bikinis and Vala once again was a liability to her team as she distracted them first by the thong she insisted on wearing, and second by the attention she garnered before the cops arrived and insisted she cover up. The game was only half-way over, but Team SamCam was so far ahead by then, it was an obvious win.
4) Risk. Teal’c could almost defeat them both all by himself, but Cam would take crazy risks that somehow worked out and they barely squeaked in a win.
5) Jack’s annual Halloween party. Vala convinced both the guys to be backup singers to her Diana Ross as they lip-synced ‘Stop In the Name of Love’ in red spangled evening dresses, but when Sam and Cam showed up as Men In Black, complete with alien muppets, they stole first prize. Of course everyone in the team knew those weren’t really muppets, but some small alien life forms borrowed from PX6-127 and Daniel thought that was cheating. However Jack gave them extra points for the stealth mission they’d run to smuggle the critters through the gate, right under Landry’s nose. He also suggested that Daniel’s poor sportsmanship was due to a too-tightly-laced corset problem.
