Going back even farther than some of the other answers. Playing five stones was a big one. The five stones could be bought in some shops but I made my own from clay and baked them in Mum's oven. Collecting Cigarette Cards was another one although they were no longer given away in cigarette packet. They were in sets such as Regiments of GB, or horses, dogs and so on. We used to swop them around to make up sets. We also played a game with them. 2 players 3 yards from a wall. Each player flicked a card towards the wall from between two fingers. If your card landed on top of any card that had been flicked you picked up all of the cards. This was a quick way of losing cards or making up sets. Before the cigarette cards became available we did the same with milk bottle tops from the school milk. They were nice flat discs that fitted the wider topped milk bottles. There was a hole in the middle for the straw to go through. The aim was to have hundreds of these tops as a form of status. Another very big craze was polishing pennies using brick dust scraped off the bricks on the school walls. They used to come up like newly minted coins. The scrape marks are on that school wall to this day which is about 60 years on.
There you have a snapshot of our social history.

For the little or no ones - something with "interior the night backyard" is customary. age 2-3 is probable into Peppa Pig, Fifi and the Flowertots and Roary the Racing motor vehicle and the each and every customary Tweenies. Age 5-6 is extra into computing gadget video games so Disney Princess Jewel interest for the Nintendo DS or the Wall E interest for the Wii. Indiana Jones lego and celebrity grew to become into lego Wii video games and the lego itself for youthful adventurers. surgeon who remains very customary with all the collections of figures and voice changer helmets etc.

It changed on a seemingly monthly basis. We had Rubiks Cube and Rubiks Snake, Trick Stick, Donkey Kong, 'Fame' style leg warmers, Transformers, Commodore Vic 20 computers and BMX bikes.

Loads, Choppers (bikes!) and skateboards were popular at the same time as smurfs as I remember having smurf stickers all over my yellow skateboard and my Chopper!! After that it was roller boots, with four wheels and a stopper at the front, we used to go to roller discos, we thought we were soooooooooooo cool!!!! They were such happy days, I remember having grazed knees most of the time though as I would not wear my knee pads!!!! My mum had to tweeze many a piece of gravel out of my knees and palms!!! TCP was also quite popular then!!!

Roller Skating, though not the type you see these days, they were metal ones which had a key, to make them bigger as you got older, great fun, though deadly if they came off, as the straps were always very loose and could break. My mates and i used to tie two together and put a hard book on them to sit down on and hare off down the local hill, brainless really, but like all kids we were fearless.
