Empty washing up liquid bottles filled up with water. You couldn't beat a good water fight during the summer six weeks holiday.

I remember the times when the only thing I had to worry about was how to get our football from under the neighbours car when playing footie in the street !!

But instead of trying to hit the steel balls against the puck and score a goal I used to set up all my wee plastic toy soldiers on the board and then execute them all - the game was who ( and what country) survived ( I had German, SOuth African, Russian and British soldiers, Airfix)

Skipping ropes
Elastics
Two balls against the wall
Footie

We spent most times playing out...eating with our coats on so we could get back out as quickly as possible

Agree with alf, nothing better than a water fight with washing up bottles in summer

Potato and cap guns etc

God I am so old.....buy they were the best times

Yeah. When it was safe to play out and not have to worry about anything .. very different today sadly

I feel genuinely sorry for the youngsters growing up nowadays

I just remembered that I used to love Table Football/Soccer.

Also still to this day I love playing Air Hockey at the Arcade.

I used to love ‘collecting’ Subbuteo teams but never played the game itself .

Rather play proper footie outside
