We used to create obstacle courses through the fields around us. Also used to play 40/40 until it was so dark we couldn't see.

Board game wise, I was actually obsessed with The Game of Life. I remember asking Santa for it when I was about 8 (obviously not fully understanding the game!) and playing it literally every week for a few years.

Kerbs, or paths, as my neighbours called it. We played a lot of IRA as well.

Indoors I loved Guess Who and Mask.

Knick-knacks or string knick-knacks,
We done verbal knick-knacks from time to time, until some aul caught us and threatened to knock the shít out of us with a wheel brace. Good times.

We also used to put dog shíts under the local aul bints cardoor handles as well and wait in the field across from her house playing football for hours until she went to go out. Oh how we laughed.

As much as I loved it i always prefered micro machines when a few were playing. Very cut throat.

We used to build a base and go on "missions" to the end of the garden. If we saw a "Janet House" (a bird, a plane, a microlight etc.) we had to run or it would shoot us. If we were inside and the TV was on, we had to watch out for the "Scary Lady Face" (who controlled the Janet Houses) as she was trying to kill us.

I have no idea where any of that come from. Kids are weird.

Playing on the silage bales and then get ate for bursting holes in them

Making forts with square bales and playing dares with the neighbours in them. Bales were mighty craic.

Headers and volleys hands down, or the variation of it named 60 seconds.

40/40 home was my favourite childhood game. One evening we were playing it and I was running so fast to get home that I didn't notice the concrete bollard in front of me. I ran straight into it and knocked myself out!

Oh, leap frog and double dutch too.

DyldeBrill · 28-03-2013 08:13PM

Nothing beats oldskool games!

Loved pogs myself and a bita pop up pirate!

Can't be kinex or lego either!

Water pistol/ bomb fights in summer when you formed two armies and the aim was to get as soaked as possible

Celly Smunt · 28-03-2013 08:24PM

There was this one guy in the group who we used to pick on (he was a nice lad,one of us but there's always one at that age).Anyway we used to wait for him to be "on" playing kick the can,then we'd all go home and watch him trying to catch us from our bedroom windows.

Burky126 · 28-03-2013 08:27PM
