I had a quick look and couldnt see anything about this. What a wanted to ask if what was everyones favorite childhood games. I loved playing Cats Cradle with a peice of string. Has anyone else go games they want to share.....

Hide and seek was tops with friends.  When I was alone I read a lot, and when I could find the right token for hopscotch, a worn heel from a man's shoe, I played.

Now that I think of it, I grew up in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania and the stuff fell off the truck whenever it was delivered to fill a coal bin.  It was excellent for drawing on the sidewalk.

Hmm I didn't really play games so much. We played 'Conquistadors and Indians' instead of 'Cowboys and Indians'.
And Pirates.
And Vietnam soldiers. (lol first thing in the morning, with dew on the grass was the tall grasses to hide behind, lol)
And school. I loved playing teacher.

Great topic Lucy, but I think I'm going to cry. I was so naive and stupid in those days. I was supposed to grow up to be a hero, a man - not this. Puberty shattered all my dreams, all my illusions that some day everything would be okay.

I may not know the correct translation in English, but here it goes: 

Hopscotch
Dressup
Hide and seek
Mother May I?
Jacks


Yeah, I was a weird little girl as a child! 

tink

never was really into games or any of that.
but i really liked walking around the woods behind my parents house.
when i got older, i fixed up a little tractor.
i would ride that around the woods for hours.
had a little trailer for the tractor. I would pack up all my camping gear in that and go miles back in the woods camping.

I liked to play dress up (obviously  ), house (I always wanted to be the sister. hehe I knew that "mom" would never happen.) and hopscotch every once in a while.

Used to play lotsa sports. baseball. soccer. football.  I grew up w/4 brothers. no girls.  just my mom. heheheh
