Answer 2

I'm 43. I used to play soccer, play warriors, pretend I was a cowboy or an indian or a detective, whatever, or that I was finding dinossaur bones, go to the beach in the summer, ride my bike, go to the movies, watch TV, play board games such as Monopoly, play catch, read (mostly comics), write a little, paint and draw, play with toys, listen to a whole lot of music and dream of becoming a rock star, etc., etc., etc. There were no computers. There weren't thousand of TV channels but I don't even watch sickening TV anymore. There was less to choose from or so it seems. But basically things were more or less the same. Ah! I was freer than most kids are these days. As a teacher, I can guarantee that.

Answer 3

I am 25 now and I too played Barbies, Lincoln Logs, Plop-Bloids, Legos, Slip and Slide, and I was all about New Kids on the Block!
I played on my trampoline, and Truth/Dare, Girl Talk, and Mall Madness were a part of everyday life!

Thanks for letting me remember! I miss the good old days!

Answer 6

Anything that involved being outdoors - Football, bike rides, collecting seasonal fruits and nuts for mum to make pies and cakes. Healthy, wholesome, constructive, character building fun.
We all carried pocket knives then too, but they were used sensibly and for constructive means like building camps in the woods, fishing, trapping, carving wood and opening tins of beans for camp fires.

I'm only 28 by the way and I'm sickened at how kids are these days. When I was younger the recreation field would have at least 20 of us all playing football. I haven't seen anybody up there now except for people walking their dogs.

COMPUTERS, (c)Rap music, films, lack of discipline in schools and at home, JUNK FOOD, mollycoddling nanny state laws, the government are all to blame.

Answer 7

A lot of stuff that I pity my younger siblings who now virtually play indoors with computers. As a tom boy I played soccer with my cousin's friends.And they used to come everyday since my counsin was the only boy on our street who had the standard FIFA football back then.Later a got a lady friend to join in. I was mostly the goalie!! Whenever I scored it generated into a heated arguement among the guys because they didn't understand why a girl should score them,mind you in those days female soccer was not heard off.

I never got home early from school and I often told the driver assigned to pick me after school to go on his own rounds since I was not prepared to go home yet. What was I doing? Argueing with the guys on every available topic.

Then I'll walk home late,sometimes so late my mother will actually return from work and organise a search party.She often found it difficult to find me because I had so many routes,depending on my moods or how dark it had become.
Instead of a straight journey home we'll pass through the estates,farms, market places and you just name it!!

I remember at age 7 when my group of friends and I "harvested" one farmer's corn for him.The farm was in an old grave yard!! Unfortunately he saw us and said nothing but reported us to the headmistress the next morning. The whole sqaud was surmoned but I was the cutest and the head mistress couldn't imagine me committing such a crime so she let me go.How my friends gave me the silence treatment!!
But it was only fair since a friend pluged it for me as I was too short back then and besides my grandmother never allowed me to roast a corn I could not explian where I had gotten it from.

Oh and I was in the Girls brigade,was late for weekend meetings because it started exactly at the same time as my favourite TV program,so I always set off after the show and church was like a kilometer away..oops.You can send me off early but i will by all means get a friends house to finish watching it before going for meetings.I got home late too becasue I'll have to stop by a friends to watch Capian Planet and finish off the stick of sugar cane I have been warned against several times before I got home!! I was early only when there was light off!!

For me being a child was defiantely fun!! I was calm but VERY mischievious!! Thats why the whole family is shocked that at 20+ I prefer to stay indoors. Why not I've had all the fun.But it has also thought me one thing,my geography is far better than most geography students I know!!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Let's make this a football related question, shall we?

I played subbuteo a lot, made my own World Cups, but not with regular names of footballers, but names that I made up. That way I had my own stars. Like dutch player Jan Zijlijn. (John Sideline).

Besides that I played football myself outside, but not when it was on TV 'cause then I'd be in fron of the telly. Once I forgot what time the game started and I was late 10 minutes but already the score was 1-1 (AZ67-Ispwich Town 1981).

Answer 10

im 24. i used to play barbies, my little pony, go on day long bike rides with my sister at about 8 years old, go blackberry picking with my dad, play on the park, play bat and ball in the street, play "curbie" in the street, have water fights in the middle of the street - all without mobile phones or worring about being kidnapped.

Answer 11

I went to ballet classes and Brownies/Girl guides. There were loads of kids around my age in our street and we all used to get together and play Tag, Bulldogs, Lifeboat, Acky 123, L.O.N.D.O.N, ride our bikes around, climbed trees and basically ran around outside, whatever the weather, until our parents called us in for tea. No computer games, no SKY tv. Wow - thinking about it - I really miss that stuff :o( -I'm 35!
