Knucklebones, which we could play indoors when it was wet! I even looked up its history and it almost encouraged me in my Latin studies!

It would be British Bulldog. Banned in most schools (and a completely different game depending on which county you lived in!) but the thrill of it was always too much to resist. I honestly don't know how I didn't end up with a broken neck!

Skipping in groups ie when others turned the rope

Building jumps in the garden and leaping over them on my hobby horse, pretending to be a show jumper.

Meeting some of the local children over the park to play rounders was a regular occurrence and one we used to love and used to have such good fun, in the fresh air and getting some exercise. If only the children of today would do such things!

Playing board games, stamp collecting and making sandcastles.

Going for long walks Looking for berries and playing I spy as we go along

When I was 7 I was utterly spellbound by the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. I embarked on a project to build an Airfix model of the Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket. It took me hours and hours - it was very detailed model. Then I decided I wanted it to actually take off....so I packed an old Airfix paint tin with a thing called 'Jetex' (a solid rocket fuel for models you could get at the time) and glued it into the base. On the big day I set the model up on a stand in the garden, and with huge ceremony lit the Jetex motor and ran back into the house. There was a vast amount of smoke, and when it cleared...nothing had happened. No big takeoff. I still smile when I remember returning to the rocket and finding the whole base of it had melted. Such enjoyment - the excitement, naivety, and hope of childhood.

the sundays at granny's house when all the cousin met up and we spent hours in the farm yard playing silly games and just enjoying being together

Hide and seek outside and Monopoly when we weren't allowed out!

drawing i have no time for it anymore

I always enjoyed skipping with a long rope and hopscotch

We used to play hide and seek with torches in the farmyard at night which was scary and exciting!

Always loved climbing trees - they've all been cut down now!

A Tree survey!

Buckaroo

Loved playing 40-40 until it got dark or your mum would shout 'dinner'
