When i was a young child i used to play a game in my back yard when it rained called Indians where 3 or 4 of us kids would divide the yard into tribes and rule them with our mud castles. We would bargain different pieces of food and various toys we found out in the yard and use rocks as money.

Aw that's adorable. We played a similar game...the Olden Days Game. We pretended we were in a band of covered wagons on the Oregon Trail...rode horses (on our bikes)...and sometimes we'd be fighting the Japanese in WWII and we'd build shelters to hide from the air raids...being kids history sort of blended together.

My favorite childhood game was Army Hide and Seek. It's hide and seek with guns (toy guns of course), and when we'd capture someone they were our prisoner and eventually we'd break out into battle to try and win back our prisoners.

My favorite childhood game was...I would read a novel, and if I really loved it, my friends and I would dress up like the characters in the novel. We played "Little Women" for years.

My favourite game as a kid was Monopoly - I could play it for hours.

My family once bought the "Life" cereal, and we always teased each other about it.

"How could you just throw your Life down the drain?"

"Your Life is so important."

"Don't just waist your Life."

"It's the little things in Life that mean the most."

"Is your Life really fulfilling?"

"Are you happy with your Life?

Baseball and football. There were always enough kids around to get some kind of game up. Or, break out the board games. Sorry, Chinese Checkers, etc.

"what's the time, MR wolf"

it involves 2 people- 1 person acts as the wolf, and 1 person stands a fair distance away

the second person asks: what's the time, MR wolf?

and he'll say something like... 6 A.M, 7 A.M, etc

with each answer, he moves a step closer to you

then after a few repeats, you'll ask- what's the time mr wolf?

and he'll say: dinner time

and come after you

you've got to try not to be caught
