It was such a different time then when I grew up in the 50's and 60's. I played most of the things already mentioned, but the one thing that's in my mind is that we played OUTSIDE. We were out all day long and it seemed like there were always alot of kids to play with. I live in a subdivision now of about 1,000+ houses, and even though almost every house has a "swing set" (now they are made of wood and are pretty expensive) I hardly ever see children playing outside.
