Marbles, pitching pennies, dice, tops. How far back are we going? Ed |

Here are some other games and activities: hide-and-seek, tag or freeze tag, follow the leader, whittling (few people let their kids do that now!), climbing trees, building sand castles at the beach, flying kites, playing board or card games (Ed already mentioned dice), and reading books or comic books.
This makes me feel old. I �m not quite 50, but my husband and I did most of these things when we were children. And as far as I know, many American children rarely if ever do these. |

I don �t know if this game was played in other parts of the States or the world, but when I was a kid in the 60 �s it was a very popular street game in New York. It �s called skelzies. It �s played with bottle caps and the chalk drawn board (in the middle of the street usually) that you see below. Is anyone familiar with this game???? Ed  |
