How can one ever forget the carefree days at school? No mobile phones and no computers. Only chatter and simple games played with such fun and gusto. "Policemen and robbers" used to find us hiding in the most unusual places waiting for the "policeman" to catch us! "Simon says" , " oranges and lemon", " hide and seek", were some of the games which we used to play in our lunch break. Finish a quick lunch and then get playing. Such fun and laughter. Where have those days gone???

Gone with the wind💨👀
 
Yep and playing with doogs (marbles) and yoyo's. Collecting stamps and foreign coins and other thing out of the cereal boxes.
And girls had germs, after school cricket on our big front lawn, dad had to replace the front window occasionally. Amazingly we never got told off for that.
And laying on the lawn on hot nights watching the stars, coz it was too hot to sleep indoors, until the mozzies drove you inside.
