When you were a kid what did you do to entertain yourself?

I remember that!!! Lol I played outside ALOT! I was only aloud to play Nintendo for 1 hour a day. 😊❤🌷

Yep. Play outside for endless hours. 😊

Roller skates.. rode bikes.. played in the dirt and would read outside, on the top of Sonny💕🐎(he was a Clydesdale.)🤣😂 But if I could be outside I was!🤗💕

J🌠❄️

Freedom was a bike, and being outside until the street lights came on then you had to go home...

We didn't have a color TV until I was in high school. We rarely watched TV anyway, since we were outside as much as possible, reading, playing piano (or torturing it and my parents), or playing games. I actually feel very sorry for kids now.

Do I sound like a curmudgeon? Ok. Get off my grass.

I stayed outside. Played hide and seek, built forts out of hay bales, climbed trees, rode horses, barrel racing starting at age 3, basketball, flag and touch football, softball and baseball, foot races of all sorts, dodge ball, jumping out of second story windows just for the fun of it. Surprisingly not a single broken bone until I was 39. I was running and put my foot in a pothole the wrong way. Broke my ankle. Concussions had plenty as a kid, 5 by age 18. They weren't taken as seriously then as they are now. I was a wild child.😁😎😁

I was outside swimming,iceskating and playing outdoor games with friends. Indoors I would draw or paint or fight with my sister.Lol!

Baseball, Kickball, Freeze Tag. Endless games. 😊❤🌷

Our house was at the base of a hill, so summertimes we played cowboy & Indians, pretended to hunt. Faithful German shepherd Rusty, alway along as our protector. We caught lizards and kept them at home for the summer, then released. We caught chipmunks, tamed them, made little collars and would pin the other end on our shirts, so they could sleep in the shirt pocket. When we weren't on the hill, we played down at the river, catching crawdads, fishing for catfish and carp(yuk!) In those days, parents and kids never had to worry about our safety. We'd pack our lunches, fruit and be gone all day. Oh, what fun we had. In the winter, when the river froze over we'd skate in the afternoons and evenings. I started ice-skating at 4 yrs old. We had a "Party-line" phone and we kids were not allowed to touch it. Anybody remember party line phones?

I love putting glue on my hands And peeling it off. But I used to ride my bike all the time going swimming playing with Barbies. Being out doors and sledding and ice skating. Kids nowadays they don’t go outside as much.

💗👍Yeppers, I remember, being outside, rode my hotrses🐎🐎 in the beautiful meadows ,& went roller skating, played w/ friends, climbed trees, miracle no broken bones till, I was about 39 too Peruzzot, I slipped on ice & broke my R.

Greater!😅😅 get off my lawn!!--Jazzy🌹💜

Parents tell me it’s not safe anymore to let your kids play outside without a watchful eye. So sad.

riding bikes,kickball,dodgeball.badmitten,so many things outdoors,listening to 45 records!you would buy a new record at kmart and play it over and over

When I was a kid I rode my bike and played outside.

Ride bikes with friends and play basketball and other sports at 5th Street Park. We didn't have the games like kids have now.

Rode my bike all day, played kick the can with neighborhood kids and wiffle ball with the neighbor girls. Some days when nobody was around I would go outside and just look at the clouds. When a plane would fly over I would wonder about the people on that airplane and think about flying in one, something I couldn't imagine!

My dad would occasionally take a business trip on a plane and I remember meeting him with my mom and sisters at the airport outside with a chain link fence separating us from the plane. How loud it was! I remember my dad staying home one time from work because he was throwing up. We all thought he was dying because he NEVER stayed home!

I played basketball, Scout's, church activities.

If I respond to your query, I might incriminate myself ~ IF I could only remember!
