I was amazed when talking to my neices and nephews the other day, they don't know how to play! Games such as British bulldog, Tag, statues, kiss-chase - Cowboys and Indians, they had no idea. The only one they did know was hide and seek, and they thought it 'lame'!

Monopoly, pinochle, hearts, clue, checkers, sorry and Chinese checkers for board games...
Soldiers, coyboys and indians, spin tops, play with yoyo's, build scooters out of old roller skates milk box and 2X4. Go climbing (in the neighborhood), marbels, fly kites, sandlot baseball, johnny on the pony, trade basball cards you're right !!! And I'll bet they don't have a good imaginations either...

Cops and Robbers, Tag, Red Rover, Hide and Seek, Cowboys and Indians...and in the evenings, chess with my dad. And there were usually marbles, toy cars and jacks to play with.

I played mostly board games; Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, etc. When I did play other kinds of games it was at school in gym class. We played Superman Tag, Tag, Colored Eggs, Red light, green light, and other games like that.

Health and safety regulations means that kids are not allowed to play such games anymore.

When did I stop being a kid? I played with firecrackers and bows and arrows. We had BBgun fights. It's a miracle I'm not maimed.
