OK...this is for all you 'baby-boomers' out there (and others too!). How many of the 'old-fashioned-outdoor-games' did you play? Do you remember anything 'interesting' about how they were played? Let's hear about them!I remember we used to play lots of outdoor games (weather permitting, of course!). Games like: -"Red Rover, Red Rover"-"Simon Says"-"Hide 'n Seek"-"Hopskotch"To mention just a few! What about you?

Gee whiz. I used to play a lot of outdoor games when I was a kid: Hide n Seek, Tag, our version of Dodgeball, and a lot more concocted games. Hahahaha. A lot of kids don't play outside anymore, they'd rather stick to their playstations and Xboxes. In our country, we also have a lot more outdoor games that we play that isn't popular in the Americas and Europe. And now, a lot of kids don't know these games. Well, those were the days...

hahaha....Sounds like you enjoyed them like I did. I do think we learned how to be 'creative' as you say...'concocting' games, and such. It was fun though! Thanks for the post.
