-Walk on hind/front legs
-"pee" on command rise back leg as a male marking XD
-an easy one : up, down, right, and left of an object (chair,box,table,etc)
-finally get my girls to go on the side of the bicycle without going like crawlers!!!
Let's start a list and see if anyone is interested in multiple dogs doing the same thing.
I like Mara's idea of dog's learning to bring things by name. Pink can "bring his bowl", but that's it.I like the idea of the dog learning to attend to the different words. Some dogs can bring their leash, I'm sure.
But not all dogs can "bring", maybe that's too hard.

I would not mind doing that. The only other things I have come up with are working on a ladder walk and nosework, and I"m not sure I have time for either of those right now (or weaves which I seriously do not have time for)
I keep thinking about this and coming back to the fact that our dogs have all had different foundation training. For instance with what I suggested - some dogs may be starting from scratch, some dogs may already understand the concept of picking something up or bringing something to you (my dog) and that will influence how they learn the rest of it. So even doing the same thing they'll be on different levels learning it. So maybe a question to consider is if are we are all good with that? Or if it's better/easier with each person deciding on something new to their dog.

Hmm.... could we decide on a "general" behavior? For example, my husky doesn't retrieve- my malinois retrieved when she was 8 weeks old- so it would be easy to teach the mali to bring me an object but not the husky. He'd do better just indicating the object by sniffing or pawing.
We could have a broad category of "scent discrimination" or, in Betty's case place recognition (home)... very broad. I'd love to teach my dogs to "go home" and have them sit at the door waiting until I arrive. These broad categories would open up the door to finding and retrieving an object, going to a place and staying there, indicating an object, word recognition type games, etc.
It would be pretty cool if you could teach your dog to play Twister! (do people even have that game around anymore?). That incorporates a bundle of tricks all at once. That would be a silly (and pointless) dog party game.
