Childhood games...
Tried to think back this evening to what were the first games I remember playing.
Nursery school:little white clay pipes for blowing bubbles. Primary school: Wendy house, where there was a load of plastic fruit and veg. also a till, like in a shop, in pounds, shillings and pence with plastic money. Fuzzy felt - special board (pale blue or green) and coloured felt pieces for making pictures -especially liked the cats, dogs and flowers. Plasticene on a board with a litle rolling pin and plastic knife. What are the earliest games you can remember...:D |

Re: Childhood games...
Whip and top was definitely out of fashion when i was little. I do remember getting a bagatelle for one xmas and playing Tiddlywinks too.
Lots of card games too. Had a good game called "Hand's Down" which was a seventies thing and we used to pley Kerplunk too, as well as the usual Monopoly and Cluedo. Used to play a lot of Draughts with my Grandad too but he was a terrible cheat! |

Re: Childhood games...
At my son's house Monopoly, chess and scrabble are played fairly often.
My stepgrandaughter was a little piqued when I beat her at Scrabble. I recently donated my boxed Backgammon set to them (I have no-one to play it with) |
