I loved playing hide and seek in the field near our house.My best hiding spot was a massive Bush that had grown in a hollow and I could hide at the base

I always loved having a craft project on the go!

Leap frog and kiss chase!

I remember playing marbles on the drains at school, not very hygienic when I think of it now! I wasn't very good at it but I loved the colours of the marbles.

Hopscotch used to love playing that.

I used to love escaping for the day during the school holidays. There was none of this going round to a friend's house, we would all meet in the cul-de-sac with our bikes and plan our adventures for the day. We often used to cycle down the lane (about 3 miles) and then cut through farmland to reach some woods, where we would "search for evidence" or "hunt the killer" , depending on whatever imaginery game we were playing at that particular time. It was so much fun and we would only return home for meals.

Fuzzy Felts!

I once made a 'computer' from a cardboard box after watching a 'make' that I'd seen on Blue Peter. It involved punch cards and knitting needles - I can't for the life of me remember how I made it, but if you asked it questions the correct answer fell out of the bottom of the box! I was so impressed, and so were my friends - simple times!

Making mud castles with my nan!

We used to play all kinds of board games and card games, but I remember long games of Monopoly, played on a Sunday afternoon, with the whole family taking part and being delighted on the odd occasion when I won

Playing with my pram in the garden, looking after my dolls as though they were real children. I had a gorgeous pram for Christmas one year and more than made use of it!

Draughts! We used to go to my Nan's flat and play it with her regularly. We could play for hours!

I loved riding my bike! I couldn't go far because I lived in a city, but I felt like I was flying down the street on those wheels!

I used to collect butterflies and ladybirds from a nearby field that had lots of wild flowers. Hard to find areas like that now, sadly

My dad taught me to add and multiply by playing cribbage, card games and dominoes ( 1950s). I was also a bit of a tomboy and liked playing cowboys and Indians. I had a cowgirl outfit. We went to the cinema a lot and my dad was a big fan of westerns.

We all enjoyed monopoly as a family

We would go out for the whole day and walk miles with our fishing net and jam jars to the river, catch tiddlers, climb trees build dens then walk all the way home, filthy but happy, no watches but always in time for tea!

I look back on playing game of Life game most fondly

I look back on playing Monopoly game most fondly

I loved playing marbles (using drain covers in the playground)

Kirby and my roller skates

Monopoly, used to play with my mum, dad and sister most weeks and game could go on for hours so we used to often leave the board where it was for several days. It was nice spending time with family

Making potions out of anything and everything!

Life was much simpler then, as was everything around us. My favourite game was a very small wooden train set with a circular track, an engine, a coal wagon and a carriage. It was clockwork and did 10 full circuits before it gave up the ghost.

Some days it feels as if I have done 9 of those circuits myself.

Whip & top. Loved chalking the top with different colours and fascinated with these colours when spinning.
