I was thinking about kids playing and the "game" of "keep away" came to mind.

That's where someone snatches something of someone else's and a group of kids "keep it away" from the owner. Can be harmless fun.

But usually it *isn't*. Because they'l grab it from some kid who isn't big enough to make them give it back nor fast enough to catch one of them

This reminds me of the use of teaching kids about boundaries and consent via tickling. That is, tickling is rarely any fun for the person being tickled, but because of how the body reacts when tickled, it can be hard for the tickler to tell. So it's a good opportunity to teach both the tickled and the tickler about boundaries, consent, and saying no. Which carries on to other things as well.
