That makes me sound so OLD.....
We played domino's, cards (lots of cards), croquet in the yard, badminton in the yard, baseball, football, tennis, golf, horseback riding for hours, all summer long. We loved to swim, still do.
Most of those movies out today are based on ones from the 40's and 50's "like Flicka" was a Movie and tv show in the 1960's.
A very popular board games are Monopoly, Twister, Scrabble, and Yahtzee.
We loved to camp, cook out was our favorite thing, with Smors and hot chocolate and a great BBQ dinner with beans and cornbread all made over the fire. We would tell jokes from a book, and read silly stories to each other and make them up as we went along. Both as kids and grownups, this was really fun. National parks were wonderful back then!

My grandpa played horseshoes.
They taught us how to do this when we were little. Take two thin pieces of wood, one about three feet long, the other about one. Nail them together to form a "T". Take an old tire and stand it upright. Have races pushing your tire along with the "T" (holding it upside down) Who ever makes it to the finish first without knocking over their tire wins. If your tire falls over, you have to go back to the starting line and start over.
