Nostalgia
MP has got me reminiscing about my playground days and the games we used to play. Favourites were
British Bulldog Elastics (really long piece of elastic placed around ankles and a 3rd would have to do various actions - like a giant cat's cradle) Cat's cradle:lol: Leapfrog - how high could YOU go:ohmy: I-spy - using a telescope type thing that you could see around corners with Skipping rope - never mastered the double jump rope thingy though:frown: In winter - making a skid patch on the snow:thumbsup: Your turn:D |

Re: Nostalgia
Elastics- which we called French Skipping. Skipping (under the moon and over the stars) but the best one was making jumps in the back garden out of dustbins and brooms, or whatever we could get our hands on, and then be horses and jump over them.
Also seasonal games like conkers and snowball fights ( the latter was rare as we lived in Wiltshire, which isn't generally snowy.) |

The man who lived there was a fireman and if he was on nights he used to spend most of the day chasing us away :) I was just trying to remember some of the songs we'd sing while we were playing but they've all escaped me. We also used to play 'What's the time Mr Wolf' and another game I can't remember the name of where one person stood across the road and would shout instructions like '3 giant steps' ''2 baby steps', I think you had to get across the road to them without being caught out. Or something. |
