Ladies, do you remember Mystery Date? I actually thought the dud looked happy & would be a fun date. We could ride bikes & play outside & he wouldn't be a sissy about getting a little dirty.

Shrinky Dinks you would put in the oven!

 

the jump rope that was big stretchy circle....think enormous hair tie and two people would face each other with the rope around their ankles and stand far enough apart that a third person would do different jumps in and between the ropes.

 

Can't remember what it was called.

This is such a fun thread! Smiley Happy I remember a lot of what has been mentioned. Jacks was lots of fun; my mom would play it with me. I also played a lot with Barbies and paperdolls. We played Chinese checkers at my grandparents' house and the card game SkipBo (I think it was called) at my aunt and uncle's. I was in college in the 80s and Trivial Pursuit was EVERYTHING. We played constantly, usually girls against guys, and were out for blood! We also played a lot of cards in college, especially rummy. The best of times...Heart

I remember and participated in most of those many years ago and most were so enjoyable with the exception of dodgeball...which I detested!
