Games We Played

by Power User * Arlene * on November 16, 2011

I was at my friend's house recently and I was observing her kids play. Her boys were playing video games and her daughter was playing with Barbie dolls. It got me thinking of my own childhood. I can remember a time when life as a child was fun and innocent.

One of the best thing I can recall from childhood was the imagination was always active. The fun was about creating things that did not existed when we were growing. Sadly, children now have an overdose of reality, in HD.

I agree with you all...what made it fun growing up was taking simple, ordinary things and making them into toys or using your imagination...

@ Phyzzix: LOL...I miss my slip and slide =)

Oh yes, the good old days. Stick ball, baseball, hand ball, Ace King Queen Jack ball, bike riding, etc. I was out even in the rain and the snow. Kids need to know how to interact with each other. Good post

Thanks for sharing nice memories of your childhood and playing outdoors. I too played outdoors a lot while I was growing up. Hide and seek, basketball, soccer with boys. I was always a goalee. Playing tag. Rollerblading, etc. You name it. Nowadays, kids do spend too much time indoors playing video games and that is definitely not good for them. No wonder some kids have health problems. Too much inactivity and sitting around.

I played with huge boxes a lot...I liked to bedazzle them and pretend it's a playhouse.

Today's generation of kids are prone to staying indoors rather than being active. I agree with Meliha that there is too much inactivity...which raises health issues such as obesity...

Kids these days should play games, have fun, and act like kids---I only draw the line when they never leave the house.
