What were some of your favorite toys & games???

I used to like to play with cut out dolls & coloring books I was very good at staying inside the lines.

I also liked hopscotch & jump rope & patty-cakes games.

I used to love making clothes for the doll - ah, they were the days

i was a tomboy, always following my brother around

I love board games but can not find anyone to join me!!

Even as a kid, I loved board games, but always hated Monopoly. Just took too long!

Checkers was my forte...was the city-wide checker championin 1961!!

Hi Kitty!!

hi, they were the great days for games

i had some dolls and barbie but always took their head out and burried them in the back yard

my mom never bought me another one after what i've done with the cabbage patch those friggin ugly dolls still today i hate them so much

after the dolls stage my mom bought me a 2 way radio for kids and had fun with that my cousin and i where the duks of hazzards and we had little sirens on our bikes my name was jos and her's was tom

then we made some arc and arrow with some branches and we we're playin indians and cowboys....lol.

i didn't cost alot of money for toys we took somethingg around and play with it

we we're building some house furniture with small blocks of 2x4

today kids have everything and they are not as much as happy as i was.

whiffle ball

We had so many games ..... especially outdoor games.....

Team tag.... our own invention.... basically tag with teams over three city blocks....once tagged you were out till the chasing team became chased....

Relievo... same as team tag only there was a jail where you could free the people who were caught......

Ball tag with pinpoints.... basic ball tag, using a large ball, where, when being chased by the ballkeeper, the person being chased could cross a line and yell "pinpoints!" ..... the chaser had to stop chasing, those being chased got to line up against a wall with arms and legs spread.... and the ballkeeper got one free throw... if he hit anyone, that person became the ball keeper.....

Outs.... a baseball game played by hitting a tennis ball sized rubber ball off of concrete steps.... where distances were marked off for various types of hits.... single, double, triple, and home run....

Flag.....a game where a stick stuck out of a pail.....placed jusd inside a line of a large area rectangle.... one team was just over the line nearest to the stick.... they were the chasers... the other team tried to grab the stick and run back over the farthest point of the rectangle area....anyone on the chasers had to run out over the line and tag the teams trying to grab the stick.... whether they had grabbed the stick or not.... aiding the team trying to grab the stick was a guard who could tag out any of the chasers as soon as they crossed the line..... we played that alot

TV tag..... same a flag.... only instead of a stick and pail, we etched a tv in the dirt and placed the initials of a tv program.... there was not two teams, instead, the person who etched the initials was like the guard on flag...he would give the time and channel and if you guessed it you had to run out and down the yard over the line before you were tagged out by the guard....

We had alot of other games we played too.... just dont have time to mention them all.........

Does anyone remember the Walt Disney production... The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh.....?

We became cultish about that program.... we made and hid our scarecrow costumes.... had our own scarecrow organization.... even a clubhouse which we made inside a garage by chipping out the mortar of the concrete blocks that were hidden by bushes and accessable to us.... we entered and left by removing and replacing the blocks....lol

Boy those were the days.... made our own talent shows in the backyard.... a haunted house in the cellar... both we charged a nickel to see... we had lemonade stands, made snow forts and shoveled driveways in winter, and collected bottles for nickels and dimes..... bike hiked to adjoining towns to go swimming and visit my aunt... rummaged through old abandoned "haunted " houses and commercial buildings....went rummaging through junkyards picking through the wreckage of some of the most horrendous car collisions you ever saw....(we were abit sadistic).... but none of us who did that have never been in a major wreck...... we built go carts to run down the hills, and race each other........and then there was the candy store with the wax lips and teeth, and pixie sticks, and gummy quarters........I wouldn't have given up my childhood for anything in the world, it was great fun! Thanks for bringing back the memories...

Hey I grew up a few miles down the road from Romney Marsh!!!!!
As a child we lived in a 450 year old timber-framed house in a little village called Smarden. Den means ' clearing in the forest ' and at onetime all the area was thick with great oak forests where the shephards would go and take their pigs to feed off thee acorns.
There were three of us kids in this big old house. One of our favoirite games was the ' upside down game '' where we used to walk around the rooms holding and looking into a mirror so it looked like we were stepping over the oak beams of the ceiling, and continuously bumping into each other.......
Loads of wonderful memories.
Another one: We had one of those old wind up gramaphones withthe big horn. We used to play ancient records that spluttered and skipped and dangled and wave our bare feet with faces painted on them out of the window to passers by.

Matchbox cars

I loved my barbies

Games??...doctor-doctor..

I still enjoy straying over the lines..... But not when coloring

Models and pogo stick
Sorry.. worked too hard on the farm to play too much.

I know I'm not supposed to say this (PC gone mad, of course) but my favourite toy was a Gollywog. Don't forget, this is going back to the 60s. I also had a Tressy doll, with adjustable hair..... if one turned a key in her back the hair would get shorter and to make it longer, pull it out of a hole in the top of her head. And I had cuddly toy : a dog with long floppy ears, called.... yep, "Floppy Ears"...!!

I enjoyed board games and games like Mousetrap, Kerplunk, Barrel of Monkeys...... some of my favourite past-times were marbles, jacks and "Clackers" (they were eventually banned).

Now, I enjoy Trivial Pursuit, Balderdash, Pictionary and Taboo.

Gollywog. ????
We were too poor for a barrel of monkeys.......
We had a ditch full of crawdads.

Sandbox was great (dam cats)
