Jem, the barbie with pink hair was my favorite. I had Jem pajamas and everything. I know I'm not the only one that would get cereal just for the prize. How about Cricket, the talking doll, she was like My Buddy and Kid Sister. And Kenya, she was a doll with magic lotion.

LOL!

I am seriously feeling this topic! I remember playing "hide and go seek" in 2 different age ranges. When we were very young (5-10), it was one game. When we got a bit older, (early-mid teens), it became something ALLLLLLL together different ... and ya'll know what I mean.

On another note, my sisters used to play a game called "Chinese Jump-rope" ("jump in, jump out, jump side-to-side, jump on, jump out, jump in") with long strands of rubberbands. Any ladies feeling this or was it primarily a Chicago thing?

ALSO - for the fellas - did anybody used to make "hot-rods" ... with wood, and buggy wheels? (I'm probably SERIOUSLY dating myself with THAT one!)

Another one for the fellas ... "Strike-em-out" (Two people ... a ball, a bat, and a "strike-zone" box drawn on the wall.)

For everybody: Dodge Ball/Bombardment

Whew,I feel like an old man!
