Child hood games....?

Marbles, spinning tops, how long can you make a Mintie wrapper, knuckle-jacks (with sheep knuckles), cowboys and Indians, darts, "keepin's off" (all against everyone, with a tennis ball, until the school bell rang), cats cradle, wrestling, no blinking, dictionary (guess the meaning), encyclopaedia (a bit elitist!), sing a song (stumble and lose), hop-scotch, racing sleds on gr slopes, racing billy-carts down hills, peg-leg (who stands longest on one), stilt races (on tin cans or on sticks), racing underwater furthest or fastest, quoits, arm-wrestling, shooting rubber band off finger tips or home-made "rubber-guns" using bands cut from bike tyres, bike-riding tricks, "bombing" with a periscope and dart, should I go on? Board games Monopoly, chequers, snakes and ladders. Child of 30's and war.
