A look at what is currently available on eBay
What games did you play as a child in your street, or the local playground?
I looking to build a detailed study of games children play in the late 00's, and just wondered what adults played when they were children.
Could you also give an age (when you were playing the games) and a location, it needs to be a sbit more detailed than the UK, I would say Scunthorpe, UK.
Thanks
Best and most enduring of games I saw was a game called Kingy.
Played in a grid of 4 squares
A player in each square from King , 1, 2, Nut in a 4 square within a square shape
Hit tennis ball with hand into your own square to bounce over into another square.
Straight over is a foul and you drop down to position nut
Dittio if you dont bounce it in another square and goes out of the back
Hitting on volley is allowed.
On line is in
Games were perpetual
Aim is to become King and stay there as long as possible
Game can expand to more squares but 4 is standard
Played by kids from 8 to 15
Popular in Slough Berkshire in 1980s and probably into 1990s
Started in Marish middle school Langley Berks as far as I know but unsure when
