Childhood games
 
Remember Clackers, Conkers , hide and seek , hopscotch ?

Do kids still play these games ?

I think the Clackers were discontinued though, due to injuries :D

Never heard of Clackers, but my brothers loved Conkers and we girls loved hopscotch and hide and seek.

Hula hoops and pogo sticks were fun for a while.

Being boys we never played hopscotch, but I was an avid Conker player , ( still have the scars to prove it :D )

Clackers.......

We used to do those clapping games as well. And skipping and the elastic thing round 2 people's legs.

Pogo Sticks ! I'd forgotten about them.

The girls games were always a mystery to me !

I never asked about them, mainly:o due to the inevitable ridicule I would have had to endure.
