As a child I played playground games such as What's the Time Mr Wolf? and Contact Chase and It.
I'm also pleased to report I also climbed trees,waded through streams,tried catching fish in said streams,played Cowboys and Indians,looked for insects under logs and rocks,played on swings and roundabouts and the witches hat,the latter two now removed from playgrounds as being too dangerous,played football,pretended to be a horse and generally had a good childhood all round.

However sadly the places that I was allowed to roam around would and now are no go areas for a child on their own.

So frankly I had trouble with all but a couple of these(had some lucky guesses as well) so I'm not exactly sad about it.I'm secretly pleased that I had the childhood I did as I feel today's kids are missing out on a lot.

Oh and before anyone assumes I was brought up in the wilds of the country, I was until I was 7 (Nigeria) but then I lived in London(Woolwich) and Eastleigh(nr Southampton)but I still found trees to climb.

Incog.
