A kid's life in the 1950's was uncomplicated but rich in activities. The neighborhood was filled with the sounds of kids playing games; in the street, in their yards, or at the playground.

Some of the games we played were:

Summer

• Tag
• Hide and go seek
• Marbles
• Hopscotch (there would always be some sidewalk with the traditional chalk numbered formation that would impel you to hop along)
• Rollerskating on the sidewalk
• Riding a bike
• Badminton
• Croquet
• Unorganized baseball
• Playing catch
• Jump rope
• Pretend playing (dolls, cowboys & indians, war, adventurers on an hike)

Winter

• Sled riding
• Building igloos
• Throwing snowballs
• Making snowmen

There were probably lots more I haven't even thought of yet. Do kids do any of this stuff anymore?
