Playing hopscotch in the road

Playing outdoors! Going to visit the 'den' we had built as children. Having little adventures and thinking we were the Famous 5 :-)

Skipping at school with a long rope and everyone jumping in and out -enjoyed it so much.

As a child I lived in a small village and local children of mixed ages played together. I have many fond memories of building go karts from old prom wheels and bits of wood and racing them along the street

Its got to be Drafts , so simple yet so competitive.

climbing up trees and riding my bike

Playing Two ball in the wall, spinning and throwing the ball under your leg, as you say the rhyme e.g. Cups and saucers set for tea, how many were there 123 and turning as you there the ball against the wall, catching it as you turned happy hours..

Making dens was my favourite pastime, be it under the table with a couple of sheets in winter or out in the garden or local woods in summer. Had to have something to sit on and tea towel for table cloth, bowl and beaker, dollies and a good book to curl up and read in my little 'home' if I could take a jam sandwich and beaker of squash (Tupperware )with me, even better.

Tree climbing - no health and safety issues in the 1970’s, we would have dare competitions to see who could go highest. It was the best of times.

We loved playing Twister so much fun with bums in the air Xx

Guessing where the other cars on a journey were from based on their number plates! With my grandpa

Knots and crosses, hang man

I used to love playing in the fields and fishing for tiddlers in the dyke, my friend s and I would build dens, we would try and bake potatoes on a small bonfire, they would end up black and still solid of course. When it was bailing time new dens were constructed and we ended up with very sore land scratched limbs. Happy times.

Walking through all our local parks with my year 1 friends trying to find evidence that Autumn has arrived. We filled our bags with loads of conkers, dried leaves and cones!

Spending ages making up crazy scenes with Fuzzy Felt.

Roller skating. Going full pelt down the hill and stopping by swinging round the lamp-post at the bottom.

I have fond memories of playing card and board games on rainy Sunday afternoons

Climbing trees, definitely ! I have the scars to show for it, but loved every minute.

Hop Scotch, we would have hours of fun playing that

I used to love stamp collecting, getting mum and dads friends to save them for me from all over the world. This got me into learning about the different countries and gave me the thirst for travel which now I am retired I am doing as often as possible.

Skimming stones across rivers when on holiday with my parents

playing tag with my family ---not a big garden but big enough when you're very small

Playing Ludo - we had so many hours of fun with this simple game. My husband and I even started playing again as adults with our friends - its good fun after a couple of drinks

Playing on the rocky shoreline of the Firth of Forth.

Loved to play Jacks. My Dad made them for us at the Foundry so most of my friends had a set and carried them about and were able to play anytime.
