Picked the grand chicklets up from after school cookery club for my daughter in law and they asked to come to mine for a couple of hours. Lots of sunshine so I said they should go and play outside. The neighbours kids also headed to mine like bees round the hive (just like the old days) I'm sure they can hear the opening of a rolo dessert from 100 yards away! Anyway they all headed for the lounge and I said nope go get some fresh air and play. I found them later - sat on the patio - wee nintendo DS in hand peering at screens like automatons not a word passing between them. I suppose they were playing outside but I wish parents wouldnt give them such toys at their age..... I got the swing ball out and we had tons more fun. Well I know I did!
What did you all used to play when you got in from school? |

Swingball or cycling if we were feeling athletic, but my favourite thing was making camps and having "friends" round for tea. Used to make one under a tree in our garden and then make cups out of acorn shells and little mud cakes...
I loved it - we used our imagination a lot and we were lucky enough to live in the countryside so had a huge "playground".

"Footie or golf in the park or kerbie in the street , happy days and a damn sight cheaper than nowadays"
Oooh forgot about kerbie - was that the same as we played here where you had to throw the ball across the road to the opposite kerb and if it struck clean and bounced back at you and you caught it you scored a point? |

Years ago we had an old Co-op building, which had holes in the walls where railings had been removed, we used to use them to 'cook' with elderberries, dandelion heads etc etc
A few years ago I inherited the building.

"We used to jump of the shed onto an old mattress with sheets round our shoulders as if to fly."
That has just reminded me, we pinched my nana's sheets off the washing line and tried to use them as parachutes, jumping out a tree.  |
