I used to just love hitting a ball against a wall. In fact, if I had a suitable wall I'd still do it now; there's something therapeutic about it. Whenever I actually played against someone on a proper tennis court [only saw my first one when I went to secondary school] I never managed to hit it back sad. Playing against myself it was win win....

It's not long since we had a thread on this topic.
I liked skipping, particularly the games in which two people turned the rope and you jumped in and out to different rhymes.
Grandmother's footsteps too.
There were lots, and I've forgotten the names of most of them.

What were your favourite games as a child?
I just loved whip and top. We would decorate the top of the top(?) with coloured chalk.
Two ball was another favourite , with rows of girls all chanting the rhymes.
