What games did you play as a kid? (1 Viewer)

[magali]

no videogame mentions please i mean more like palm/hand games or hide and seek, etc

in argentina, the most popular palm/hand games are "chocolate" and "mariposa", which nearly everyone knows. there's also a more "difficult" (not really) one called "barbie" that i used to play a LOT with my friends and i still do sakUwu: however, these games vary a lot. i see people change the lyrics and people change the movements and it's so confusing

Edit: i cant read

but in my opinion when i was a child the coolest board game was this because it had the mini hotels

Edit: And i still cant read
I liked to play with my elementary friends mirror game and polttopallo (its the one where you throw ball and try to snipe each other with the ball but i forgot what it is in english) and our ultimate favorite was where one person is catcher and they have a homebase and if they see you and go touch the base first you are caught and you can free the caught by running into the base and free them without the catcher noticing

I grew up in the '90s, and there was this one clapping game we loved to play that went "Little Sally Walker, walking down the street / She didn't know what to do, so she stopped in front of me..." and then there was another one, the Jimmy Jimmy Coco Puff one (yanno, the one Nelly refers to in Country Grammar?)... oh, and Miss Mary Mack! That was probably my fave! lol and the funny thing is, our after school program coordinator's name was actually Marilyn Mack, so sometimes, we'd change the name and go "Miss Marilyn Mack, Mack, Mack..."

We also played a lot of jumprope games, like Cinderella Dressed in Yellow and this other one where you go through the alphabet until you can't jump anymore, and the letter you land on would be your future bf/gf's first initial. lol
