Sevens​

Do you remember tossing a tennis ball against the garage wall and trying to catch it after clapping your hands or spinning around? That game, often called ‘sevens’, was one of those games kids made up back them to keep themselves amused for hours. What’s your favourite solo game from your childhood? Share your memories here!

Yes we called it 2 ball and did all sorts of tricks. We also had the skipping rope games and we loved playing Jacks or knuckle bones depending on which one you had. Lots of fun, cheap and available to everyone. I think we used our imagination much more then and made up lots of variations of the games.

Skipping. Loved doing all the tricks with the skipping rope.

Loved skipping between two ropes. Would play hand ball for hours against the brick wall, and lots of fresh air. Lots of fun, no IPads or phones in those days.
