we loved playing “Hide and Go Seek” at dusk or in the dark.

Man I loved hide n seek. Night time was the best!

Monopoly. I wonder how that might relate to my spending a large part of my working life in non-profit settings. Hmmmmm
Loading...
I played Monopoly a lot as a kid too. That game is timeless.

Football. Unless you’re referring to board games. In that case, I always loved chess, Stratego, and Risk.
Loading...
I had forgotten about Stratego. Awesome memories
Loading...
Yep. 😃

Playing hide and seek after dark in our neighborhood.

Jim said the same thing and I agree. One of my all-time faves.

Mine was playing doctor! Or playing mommy with my dolls!

Girls and their dolls! lol

As a young child, I was pretty much a loner…. I wrote “magazines”, recorded myself making radio programs and hung around with adults a lot.

You should be a radio talk show host!

Hehehe maybe I should have given that a try… I always worked on the phone, and people say I have a pleasant voice. Plus, I would probably earn more if I left technical support for a radio show 😉

And you can host a radio show from anywhere in the world.

That’s a really good point!! 🙂

I liked Candy Land and Monopoly board games.
Loading...
Thinking about playing Candy Land brings back sooooo many memories.
Loading...
Not to mention….Shoots and Ladders, Life, and Mouse Trap. Mouse Trap was the best!
Loading...
Mouse Trap was awesome!

Does football count?
Loading...
Absolutely.
Loading...
Nice!!!

What position did you play?
Loading...
Wide receiver and cornerback
Loading...
I like playing corner because you get to hit people! lol
Loading...
Exactly!!!
Loading...
There is something satisfying about crushing someone with your shoulder! lol
Loading...
Yeah! And I’m paying for it now 😂😂😂

Too many to name … hide and seek, hop scotch, jacks, jump rope, fox across the river, kick ball, twister, any and every board game but especially Checkers or Parcheesi
Loading...
I know all of these games except, Fox Across the River. What is it?
Loading...
It was version of tag. The front yards in my neighborhood had sidewalks up the middle, lawns on both sides. Whoever was IT stood on the sidewalk, could run up and down but could step off into the grass. The foxes were everyone else would jump across the “river” and avoid being tagged. If you touched the sidewalk and/or got tagged, you were he next IT. The imagination of children 🙂

That is an awesome game.

My Dad and I would play “train games” on the living room floor. We had two toy trains and two dolls ( both dressed in dungarees) that were the engineers. They would drive the trains through mountain passes, snow storms, landslides and finally arrive at their destination. Here they would go to the Teddy Bear’s Club ( my entire collection of Teddys would be there) and have a nice cup of tea before turning to travel back.
