A standard ritual at UK schools from at least the 1950's - 1970s. If it was found out that a person had their birthday, they would be surrounded, and held spreadeagled with (at minimum) one person holding onto each foot and one on each hand. By pulling simultaneously the person could be slung quite high in the air (one!) then down again - then up (two!) and so on to count out their age. In some schools it was normal to drop them on the last count, except in Glasgow where the lifters stuck their feet out under the falling body on the last one. My birthday was always in the school holidays. (ed: wasn't sure if this was really a 'game' so slotted into 'slang' to be safe)
