Oh elastic skipping - when the girls threaded the elastic over their ankles with different rhymes and Double Dutch - skipping with two ropes. Loved them both!

skipping ropes and hula hoops were my idea of outdoor heaven when I was little. Skipping games and ryhmes seemed endless and it was so fun

Duck duck goose, what's the time Mr Wolf?, hopscotch of course, a strange variant of squash which involved hitting a ball off the side of the house... And at school we played lots of things with a long length of elastic which I was never any good at at all.

We played endless hopscotch, 2 ball & elastics, still play hopscotch with our DD's every school morning!

When I was growing up we were a fan of knock door run & Icky Acky.

Icky Acky was amazing!! back in the day when you could play out for hours & no one really knew where you were but they knew you were probably safe :)

It involved hiding somewhere & someone being 'on' & it was their job to find you and catch you whilst not leaving the 'home' exposed. Your task was to run to the 'home' and shout 'Icky Acky 123 in'

Such lovely memories

We used to put a tennis ball in the end of a leg from a pair of tights and play games with rhymes and bouncing it off a wall under your arms or legs and so on. I also used to make 'perfume' for my mum with rose petals and water!

I used to love hide and seek and I still get a little excited and giggly hiding from my DC

Curby!

Two-player game, each standing on one side of the curb throwing a football with the aim to get the ball back once it bounces back off the curb - endless hours of fun!

'Tracking' where we split across the whole village and hid, football with jumper goal posts, kerbie, and there was nothing better than being able to play on the field at school at playtime when the grass had been cut and we would collect the cuttings and make giant birds nests, sit in them, and make daisy chains!

We used to skateboard (badly), make pretend mini gardens with rows of Daisy's. Loads of skipping with double ropes (it's amazing how fit we must have been) & finger string cats cradle games.

The fads were always good, yo-yos, hacky sacks Rubix cubes.

I remember Pip, Squeak and Wilfred from my days in the Brownies. It was really noisy with a lot of running around but quite what we were trying to achieve I can't remember!

I remember playing hop scotch for hours, a bit of chalk or just using a stone to scratch the floor and you'd be good to go. My best friend used to live just around the corner so my mum would let me go out on my own. If it wasn't hop scotch then we would look for worms I don't think we ever found any!!

We used to play the game 'What's the time Mr Wolf' and I still play it now with my own children and their friend,also 'Wink, Murder' where they all stand in a circle with their eyes closed and you walk round and touch one of them on the shoulder making them the secret murdered, if you are winked at you have to sit down and everyone has to try and catch the 'murdered' before they get winked at.

I used to love playing on the footpath with my whip & top. My friend & I used to colour the top with chalk patterns. simple fun, but great pleasure from it.

As one of four children we had lots of opportunities to make up outdoor games. 3 bad eggs was the favourite where we all ran around the garden and when the person who had the ball said "stop" we all stopped, stood wide legged in a star shape and they would aim the ball between someone's legs. If it went through that person lost a life and if it missed the thrower lost a life. But either way the person aimed at got the ball. We then carried on running round until the person with the ball said "stop". This would continue until one person had lost all three lives by having the ball go through their legs or being a terrible shot! Then that person would be the 'bad egg'. There was a dare involved which was never particularly daring. Like getting jam smeared on your face or eating a teaspoon of mustard. Kept us entertained all day especially when friends were round and there were lots of people playing. There was no limit to the number who could join in.

I use to love playing outside, I was an only child so had to occupy myself all the time, often made dens outside and inside and loved to play on my bike

We used to play a game where you hide and then have to get back to basebefore the person who is it spots you, we called it spot light or dobbie tee tee.

Leapfrog was a fave, few bruises here and there though, and hide and seek of course, making dens was my fave lol !

we used to play hopscotch, queenie queenie who's got the ball but my favourite was elastic twist

When we we little we used to play croquet. We had a really old set but all loved it. x

We used to play 'hide and seek' in the park - was great fun but think mum used to get a bit worried when we hid too well!

I used to play whats the time mr wolf? French elastics, skipping ropes, oranges and lemons, ring a ring o roses and i used to go rollerskating every Friday too playing games there.

we played, what time is it Mr Wolf, British Bulldog and french skipping, where we used to nab all of mums tights and tie them together to make a massive loop

Hide and Seek, tag and making tents out of sheets and using old trees and the washing line - gardens were much bigger then!

I used to love playing marbles (was pretty good at it too - if I should say so myself) x
