The Spanking, Paul Charles Chocarne-Moreau (1901).

A spanking game is a game in which spanking is used as a forfeit for losing, or a reward for winning. Almost any parlor or card game can be played in a spanking version. "Spanking poker" is a classic example, usually played as an extension to strip poker.

Other games involve playful spanking without punitive connotations, for example birthday spankings.

A third category are games in which no real spanking takes place, but in which spanking plays some other role, for example spanking trivia quizzes or spanking crossword puzzles.

[edit] Spanking games in art

La main chaude is a painting by Rembrandt (c. 1632) that depicts a game in which a player is blindfolded and spanked and has to guess who has administered the slap. This game is known as "Hot Cockles" in English.

Paul Charles Chocarne-Moreau (1855-1931) also did a painting of this children's game, although in the variant he painted the slap is given to the player's hand, not his bottom. See image to the right.
