Every one of these games sound so familar. I was a child in a coal camp and so there were lots of children. My folks were very strick holiness and they did not allow us to play with children whose parents smoked or used 'bad' words. So, I did the quite stuff alone, mostly. My favorite was to stand under the apple trees and try to catch the fallng apples in a basket. We had several tomato baskets that we used and in the fall we tried to see who could catch the most leaves. We pulled up daisies and chained them together to see who could make the longest chain before mom called for a mealtime. making mud pies and playing house, my husband was usually a chair and he would hold the baby while I fried the eggs! No video games nor tv shows back then.......pure imagination.
