My best shooter was a "steelie" and it probably came out of some machine. lol<br /><br />I also played a lot of Chinese Checkers and was really good at that. Jump rope, Mother May I, Statues and others. Tag & hide and seek were always biggies, too. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-80948136973343069522019-01-25T11:31:39.831-05:002019-01-25T11:31:39.831-05:00Jacks, marbles and pick up sticks, what nostalgia!...Jacks, marbles and pick up sticks, what nostalgia!

Yep she knew that was gambling and would someday lead to dancing! hahahah.<br />I am sure she knew I played 'for keeps' because I had a large collection.<br />Anyway I think you named all the games my sister taught me. I liked jacks, but like Elizabeth above, I was better at pickup sticks.<br />Sherry just chimed in she liked Jack rocks and hop scotch. and jump rope.<br />Good one! I bet Brother Nick was a marble shooter with a 'steelie'.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-2244273585581554442019-01-25T08:18:53.590-05:002019-01-25T08:18:53.590-05:00Boy, I wish I had some of the beautiful marbles I ...Boy, I wish I had some of the beautiful marbles I collected when I was a kid.

I wish I had kept them. Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.com
