bubble ball game Childhood games of the early 50's. Outdoor and indoor games we played at home and at school and how they kept us fit.

We had a great time at the little English church school in the mill town of Lancashire.Most children live near New Municipal houses or stone terraces.The best time of the school day is the game time.
In the middle of our school playground is a stone building without a roof.The school toilet is inside and open to elements.The exterior wall is perfect for ball games.
If you are smart, we fight against the wall with two balls and three balls.Children who find it difficult to make friends can always occupy their place with a small rubber ball;In this way, they are not as lonely as they are today.We also used the wall to make the handstand, stuffed the clothes into the underwear, and we poured most of the time over!One of the games we played was :-Ten aleri, caught the ball.
I think this game is played against the wall with two balls, but when you say a ball is under your leg.(I'm not sure if my spelling is correct.However, my sister thought we threw the ball on the ground!There are many different kinds of balls.You may have a tennis ball if you are trendy, but if you have the habit of throwing the ball, all you can afford is a crumpled thin rubber ball.
They have all kinds of colors;My favorite is royal blue.The only problem with these balls when we play near home is that if dogs run with them, their teeth pop them up!The best ball is the sponge rubber ball, which is pure black.The pattern on the ball is very cute, and every color of the rainbow forms the effect of marble.
Once the ball gets older, you can take off the sponge until you have no ball.Football is not allowed on the playground, but we can play catch with big rubber balls.It's three or more games.The one in the middle is the pig, and other players will throw the ball through the pig's head until the pig catches the ball and the child who throws the ball becomes the pig.
Other popular pastimes areWhip and top, marbles, jumping House and skipping rope.Tig â x80 x99 â x80 x98 Kiss-The farm in his study, the ring-a-The good ship sailed in the alley.We spent a lot of happy time with a small wooden Gyro;They were carefully decorated with brightly colored chalk patterns.
We then wound a narrow leather lace attached to a stick around the top to make it spin around the metal point at the bottom of the top.If you are really lucky, you can buy a larger top with a diameter of about 2 inch.This provides more space for chalk decoration.
Buying marbles with our pocket money is something we really like to do.Many girls are more interested in the pattern, size and feel of the smooth but noisy glass marbles in their pockets than in the game, but my sister really loves this game, and good enough on many occasions.It's really big. she has a lot of things like this.Rope skipping is very popular;We would skip by ourselves, or twos and twos, two turns, or a large group of people chanting salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper, jelly, teddy bear, teddy bear on the plateau, put everything around, girls, house rental, oranges and lemons, and more skipping rope.
Mrs.
?(The last name of the next child to skip) came in.please run out.January, February, etc., goodnight.Scare her away!Jelly on the plateSausage in the baking tray.With our skipping rope, we can play along the playground.
We'll also see who can skip up to 2 feet or 1 feet together.All these skipping activities keep us healthy.There are very few overweight children in my school.
Children have more freedom to play outside and we are not allowed to play in the House if the weather is good.Sometimes we tie one end of a long rope to the railing so that only one girl is needed to turn the rope.If we were at home, we would tie the rope to the lamppost.
Dead game at homede -Our Manor was built by parliament after the war.In April 1949, we were one of the first families to move into the manor.So far, 1951 of the houses have been completed and occupied, and they are very close to us;There are children in every house.

The boys made a small cushion with wooden boards and old stroller wheels, and sometimes let us ride on it.I don't want to ride a bike, partly because my mom thinks it's dangerous.I still can't ride a bike, ride a horse or swim.
My child once said, mom, what can you do?My answer is that I can take them to swimming class, horse riding class, brownie cake, Cubs, music class and so on!!!A popular game to play in a dead endde-Who got the ball, Quinn?One person would be Quaini, the rest of us would stand behind our hands, pass the ball and shout Quaini, Quaini, who got the ball?In turn, everyone will sing empty-handed, look, I didn't get it, and then the next person said, I didn't get it, along the route of the child, etc.When it is the turn of the child with the ball, the child will throw the ball down, which is a signal for everyone to escape.Quaini must catch someone, and then the child will become a new Quaini.
We have some little rhymes to decide who we are.Out goes SHE.Ip dip dash.Sir, when is it now?Wolf?Again, one will continue to answer our question, "when is it now, sir"Wolf?With a clock.Dinner time and I are going to eat you.We all had to run away to avoid being caught.
