Jen, i forgot about those! yep, we played leap frog and two balls, another was tucking you skirt in your knickers and tossing up the wall, also coming down the wall into a crab, i couldn't do that now!!!!!! i couldn't do cartwheels tho'!! i learnt to ride a 2 wheeler bike on my brothers racer bike, round and round the garden, had a lovely track around the garden! dad wasn't to pleased tho'!!! i didn't have a bike of my own at first, then one day my brother had gone out on his and i had a bit of a sulk on, my dad came home from work and asked 'what's up with you?' so i told him, so he said 'do you want a bike?' i said 'yes', and he took me up to the shop and bought me one!! i can still see it now---it was blue and had written on it PALM BEACH, i thought that was the make!!!!!!!! it was £25! and was paid for weekly! oops, giving my age away here!!!

That sounds similar to the Statues game Joan............ Where one person stands out front with their back turned and the others creep up.........when the person turns around you all had to freeze. Jen

simon says there was a game we used to play but i can't remember what it was called!!!! it went like this-------- one person would stand in front of a group and say a letter of the alphabet, then you had to count how many of that letter were in your name, if you had one, you would take a step forward, if you had 2 you took 2 steps forward and so on, the first one to reach the person saying the alphabet was the winner, then that person started the game all over again. oh what fun!!!

All those Chris, as well as Hula hoops, hop~scotch, leap frog, two/three balls, loved playing rounders and tennis.........used to do cartwheels down the street, at the swimming pool..........one thing I always hated was roller skating..........no good at it lol............thing it was a balance thing!
