dominoes. There were 3 of us girls and on Saturday mornings, one of us played with Daddy. We had our own Saturday, 1st Saturday, 2nd Saturday and 3rd Saturday. On the fourth Saturday of every month Daddy took us to the sale barn to watch the cows and horses sell. That was the one day of each week we had our own time with Daddy. Such wonderful memeories. sigh.

I grew up in the country, so we played flashlight hide and seek at night. Mystery Date, Life, Scrabble and Monopoly for board games. Dodge ball, tetherball, hopscotch, Red rover, double jump rope and 4 Square for outside games. Old Maid, Go Fish and War for card games. During the winter, King of Hill on the snow banks was fun.

Mainly inside games are what I remember, most especially Scrabble (which I still love) and the card game Canasta (did I spell that right?), which I haven't a clue anymore how to play! Also dominoes and lots of board games, including Clue which was mentioned above and Chinese checkers. Also solitaire card game by myself of course, and checkers, and lots of jigsaw puzzles, though I am not sure if they qualify as "games".

(Herckie, Chinese jumprope requires a minimum of three players...it's a large rubber coated rubber band and two players stretch it around their ankles while the third goes through a series of intricate steps without touching the band accidently...one must touch it purposefully. Then, if the player is successful, the band is raised up to the knees and the steps are repeated until the participant makes a mistake. TV tag is played just like regular tag except that just prior to being tagged, if the chased can squat down and holler out the name of a television show before being touched, s/he's saved.)

Can I tell you what I hated, lol? Up until I was in about the 4th grade or so my speech therapist used Chutes and Ladders and Candyland as part of therapy. "I am moving my piece to the nearest wed, wed, wed, RED, square." ARGH...I hated those games cuz they were just an exercise in torture as far as I was concerned. Loved for outdoors capture the flag or whatever that was called. Board games I loved Clue, Monopoly, Scrabble, and Life. Those are still my favorites now.

Lots of Hopscotch and at night (in the summer in Detroit we were on eastern daylight time and the streetlights didn't come on until 9pm) we played a game called "Three Feet in the Mud Gutter" which was not Red Rover but involved getting to the other side of the street. LOL and we had local "games" like "trash picking" (at least our garbage pickup was separate) and "sneaking" which involved playing detective and trying to be invisible while climbing fences and going from back yard to back yard while not letting someone notice.. We also played Clue and Monopoly (we had a marathon game once, with extra sets of money, that lasted over several days) and Canasta, often with way too many decks of cards; once we had 13 decks. For several summers we would play pick up stick with my parents and often half the neighborhood kids as well. Chinese Checkers and Parcheesi (I remember my grandmother being so SLOW and she'd frustrate us by not playing our "house rules") And many many games of double, triple and quadruple solitair.. sometimes with three generations involved. And we roller skated in the summer (skate key and all) and ice skated in the winter. I'd forgotten about cat's cradle, that was a big favorite and we had a game that involved throwing a ball in the air or against a house while doing various actions before catching the ball.. I guess the name was Queensies, Clapsies (The chant was Queensies, Clapsies Turnabout, Tabatsies Right Hand, Left Hand Highseties, Lowseties Touch my Knee, Touch my Toe <soomething> and Under We Go! Yachtzee, Scrabble, came later as did Poker and jigsaw puzzles.

i lived out in the country most of my younger years so we had to make up stuff to do. we played 'fort' where we piled up pine straw for the walls. i would swing for hours on end on the swingset. there weren't many kids around for us to play with and our parents weren't into the games we had. so, the only times we got to play games were at school or when we went to visit relatives. mostly used our imagination.

Hopscotch, tetherball, ding dong ditch I have fond memories of many card games with my mom and dad (pinochle was a weekly event for us, after Dad died my mom and I learned to play 2 handed) I don't know anyone that plays it and I sure miss playing. Any/all board games... Damn, now I want to go play some games! Thank goodness for our biweekly poker torneys!! (we don't even have a dining room table anymore, Bill made a torney table and that is also our dining table, LOL, we are so addicted!)

My sister and I always played Slap Jack and Flinch (or Flench). She loved them because she always won. I hated the pain involved in Slap Jack. I think in Flinch you just had to shout out the word when you each turned over a card that matched. I didn't like that game either. Then there was Pick up Sticks which was always good for heated arguements about whether a stick moved.
