What is your favourite game or toy from your childhood?

mine was a spinning top and a walkie talkie doll , showing my age lol xx :-D

Mine was the 1970's spacehopper...me and my sister used to fight over taking turns on it lol, I always wanted one of the chopper bikes that were the fashion then but never got one *sniff sniff* lol

My football I was a proper little Tomboy & also my Rollerboots lol

Jacks for a game, dolls house that father made, and a scooter.

my most precious doll, i still have her now x

My dolls house, it started a love of miniatures which I now make and collect as in my avatar

Carol I remember my Grandad showing me how to play Jacks showed my nephews how to do it not so long ago and they were perplexed lol....

Another game I liked was marbles...not really a girls game but I had to be different...LOL

whip and top - used to take it to school for playtime - run into the classroom to use the blackboard chalks to make pretty circles on the top and then spin it across the playground

the other best thing was my dog - I always had one and we'd go over the fields and down the woods and play in the brook - brill - also loved making dens in the wood

And who can forget the Rubiks Cube, the puzzle to take the 1980's by storm and perplex a lot of children who resorted to peeling off the coloured stickers then sticking them back on in order and claim to have solved the puzzle!

we called them chuck stones but never heard them called that when we left the north east, oh and hopscotch, id win that game now if i could hop with my stick , omd so long ago. :-S

michelle my bother had a chopper there was 3 of us girls and we would fight over it. ;-)

My life-like baby doll who wee'd and cried tears, hopscotch, skipping (My mother said . . . I never should, play with the gypsies in the wood. If I did . . . . . can't remember the rest!), my brother's Meccano set, pick up stix, jacks, whizzing along paths on my roller-skates in the park - loved all those things and more until it was time to 'put away childish things' :-(

The doll was called Tiny Tears, I had one also :-)

Roller skates the type that one size fitted all you had a key to adjust them

Wend this is all I can remember of the song

My Mother said, I never should
Play with the gipsies in the wood;
If I did, she would say,
You naughty girl to disobey.
Your hair shan’t curl and your shoes shan’t shine

mine was a doll called CHATTY CATHY. one of the first dolls to talk,and she had hair that grew,you could have it short or long and she walked,mum and dad paid lots for her in the late 60s,loved her :-D

also had tiny tears when i was a little older,dadmade me a wooden crib andmum knitted bedding,also had a three wheeler bike when i was 4.and a spacehopper when i was older,but dad ran over it with his car.x :-D

still got my Teddybear - bought for me when I was born - he'll be 76 in June and a few years back was in an exhibition in Cardiff - he looks very threadbare but has been loved to bits and I'd never ever part with him

Yes I think same as Lesley - Roller Skates that used to extend

close second came a hula hoop - used to rush home at lunch time to see how many revolutions I could do before going back to school and swinging on the bars above the bike shed before one of the playground monitors could catch me. You could tell how much you had grown by which bar you could reach first.

Oh Happy Days

:-)

playing "Touch" in the playground and "What's the time Mr Wolf", skipping games - "Teddy bear, teddy bear, climb the stairs" and "In and out the dusty bluebells"
