Grandparents' games and toys in Chesterton / The games and toys grandparents

Children did a survey about old games an toys and we have some news about grandparents' memories of childhood games. Personally, ones which I remember were Hide and Seek, (kids go off to hide in the park while the 'catcher' counts to 100, then he chases after them and tries to spot them) cowboys and indians (pretend shooting each other) and a favourite girls' game was hopscotch. (sort of hopping onto paved stones on the pavement Which Had Them numbers written on with chalk)
