Re: Childhood games...
Does anyone remember the game Beetle where you had to throw a dice and build up a plastic beetle -you got a piece every time you threw a six. Beetle drives were very popular once over. I tried to find this game for my son's when they were little but they didn't make it like that anymore -only with cards and you made up a beetle that way. Took quite a lot of doing i remember, all those fiddly legs to stick in!
Think it was a Spear's games original... |

Just the same as the beetle drive game, except you made, rather than drew the beetle. I went to a beetle drive at a friend's church, and won first prize of a squirble. Which I mentioned on this thread. http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ves-28908.html :D |

Re: Childhood games...
During the few years I was doing the school run and making the tea for my three primary school grandchildren, I was entrusted with the care of a Tamagotchi which was accidentaly left with me over a weekend.
Tamagotchi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia My young grandson gave me instruction over the phone and I fed and shovelled crap for the little blighter for two days. I know he had an irrational devotion to that little gadget, and I didn't realise that, if neglected, it just 'died' but would 'live again'. |

Re: Childhood games...
What a load of boring crappy games, Proper games were Nick,Nack, but first balancing n empty bottle of milk on the Door Handle n then leg it n peep from around the corner, yeh never lived.:D Was even better in the Pea Soup Fog we used to get, Yeh could stand about15ft away n laugh when front door opened n yeh could see em in the light, the faces when the bottle smashed in front of em lol

Re: Childhood games...
Outside games were:- whip and top(tops decorated with coloured chalk if you 6d to spare)......skipping games, cowboys and Indians...goodies and baddies......we made dens, played in the streams, caught sticklebacks, brought home hedgehogs which were banished from the house because they had fleas and red mites......hula hoops...hide and seek.....Knock and run, Swing from the lampost(or tree).
Inside games:- paper planes, thrown from the top of the stairs, hunt the thimble.....the usual board games.....except we usually were negligent in taking care of the dice, could never find one. We didn't have the beetle game(a friend of mine did though) but played a game called kipper....a large fish shape was torn from a newspaper and another newspaper was used to make the fish move by hitting it with another rolled up newspaper...... we had races.......there was much cheating and falling out......Ma would rush in gather up the fish, hit us with the rolled up newspaper and throw the whole lot on the fireback.......game over! |
