It seems like we all played outside most of the time. I never see the kids in my neighborhood outdoors.
I played jacks at school during recess and at home. I wonder if they still make them. The last ones I saw were bigger than those we used. At home we used rocks and a small rubber ball. We also played school and hide and seek. In the winter time we built snow forts and were often sled riding. We lived on a farm but I come from a large family so there was always someone to play with. There were always work to do but there was time to play, as well.
