Games "Corner view"

 

 

How do you like to go up in a swing,
      Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
      Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
      Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
      Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green,
      Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
      Up in the air and down!

by Robert Louis Stevenson

 

When I was a child my days were filled with tag, hopscotch, handball, red rover red rover, who stole the bacon, swings, red light green light, digging in the sandbox, going down the slide not once not twice but over and over and over again.  We felt a sense of pride when we learned to cross over to the other side on the monkey bars.  We watched the clock for the school day to end.  Then we would head home to change our clothes, and head back to the play ground.  You couldn't keep us in!  We explored the creeks for tad poles and squished the mud between our toes.  We danced in the rain and made mud pies that were served to kings and queens.  What adventures we had with freckle covered  faces, skinned knees and if  our pants  didn't have a whole in the knee it was by some miracle.  What was your favorite game to play as a child?
