Take Me to the Old Playground
- How confidently could you pick up and employ a jumprope, hula hoop, yoyo, and set of jacks? I'd be confident with the yoyo and the jacks
- How are the playgrounds of your childhood different today? there's some kind of padding under the swings, when I was a kid we just had dirt under them
- What’s a game you and your childhood friends made up, or what’s a rule you and your childhood friends made up that made an existing game more interesting or less likely to cause a fight? my neighborhood friends played a lot of flashlight tag at night, I just remember laughing myself silly
- What fad from your childhood do you remember with fondness or disdain? Ah, the Rubick's Cube! I wish I could remember the steps to solving it now
- What playground rhymes do you remember? hmmm... I can't think of any

I'd be okay with the hula hoop and jacks. I used to jump rope, but know I'd fall a lot if I tried it now! And yoyo's - never been good with those! The playgrounds now seem more modern, less fun... Most of ours were metal and probably were not real safe - but we didn't know that! I don't remember making up a game, but I did have a secret language with one friend.... sweater sets - I remember those with fondness. We all wore them in high school! just ring around the rosie. that is all my brain can remember - LOL!

I'm too old to be able to answer any of these! LOL
My father bought the $5 book with the Rubik's cube solution and spent his evenings memorizing it. I wonder if he still remembers?
I could never get the Rubik's cube. This brought back so many memories of my own childhood...back in the 50's. I know I can't jump rope still but I can do a mean hula hoop!
I would not be good with any of the items in #1. Ha
