Our big thing at lunch was flicking coins, whoever could get theirs nearest the wall, took the pot. Usually amounted to about 50p-£1, flash money when you're 10 |

"I had loads when I was in primary school! Uses to swap with others as in our heads the funky coloured /patterned ones were better lol!"
Yes I wasn't fussed if I lost the "ordinary" cat eye ones  |

You look to young for marbles and bullies (the bigger balls) we used to collect lolly ice sticks and had a game where you tried to chop the other person's stick in half! Also pitch and toss coins lost me dinner money lots of times lol |

POGS - They were little card discs that you and a friend would stack face down on top of each other.
you then got a "slammer" which was a heavy plastic/metal disc that you slammed on the top of the stack to scatter them all, whichever ones landed face up you got to keep, It was like a cross between marbles and collecting football cards, certain pogs had specific designs such as "Shiny" pogs. |

"I used to love playing marbles in my lunch hour at school.
Did you play or have you just lost them over years   "
We called it Ollies. And also played Bollies with bigger Ollies. Funnily enough the girls tended to ignore the intensity that ollies generated for the boys, as it was predominantly a male pursuit. Instead they would chant stuff as they threw two balls at a wall or avoided tripping over skipping ropes while doing dance moves  |

I called my sister and everything ( she's living at the family home ) to check if any stray ones left over from our youth.
Zilch. Nil. None. 
Good luck |

Not sure I ever had mine tbh, although I did find one earlier in the garden along with a army dude, maybe I need to dig more tomorrow |
