Do you remember …
- wiggling your hips to keep this toy from falling to the ground? Were you good at it?
- playing this game with different characters in which you didn’t want to end up with the extra special card? Did you play this game?
- the game we played with chalk and a stone?
- the game where you needed three to play AND you needed good jumping skills? (This could also be played with just one depending on the size of the rope. Another way to play with two and a large rope was to tie one end to something while one turned and one jumped.)
- playing this famous game where you could become rich or bankrupt?
- this toy that gave you hours of viewing time looking at pictures. Did you have one? Do you remember the pictures?
- this puppet doll from a famous TV show?
- this sports equipment strapped onto shoes?
- spinning one of these?
- the game that required two players and some “royal” pieces.
- playing Red Rover? How did you play and what was the chant that was yelled?
- this party game where if you played, we hope you liked apples.
