Me, too, @rosemarya and @jude07! This group of enterprising walker/talkers would have shared some incredibly fun times together as kids...and even as adults-in-person, too! We girls also played jacks together but never remember any of the neighborhood boys joining in on that. Another favorite was pick-up-sticks. Both were good for developing hand dexterity but of course that never entered our minds; we just liked to play. I couldn't find a set of jacks to buy so ordered a set and taught my grand to play when they came to visit. Later bought a bean bag toss that both grands and I enjoyed in the yard. Anyone else for either of those? How cute that older sisters had to "remind you", Jude that only one bounce was allowed! Smiles to all

Another that I had forgotten about “pick up sticks” a definite yes. We also played “gobble gobble” with a few or a fist full of marbles. I still have the marbles that were my mothers and plan to teach my grandson, virtually, since I have shared some with him in Baltimore.
I picked a cattail on my walk the other day, then I looked it up on google to see what I could tell my grandson and learned so much myself about what the seeds, pillowy white stuff and reeds were all used for by the American Indians. He loved the virtual lesson.
Now, on my walks I try to come up with other ideas. Planning a trip to Wabasha, Mn this week to see if I can video some eagles.
