What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

[Good karma]

also kids grow up too quickly nowadays, as if staying a normal kid is unfashionable

 

[scifan57]

There is so much to tempt children nowadays, much of it involving consuming content on computers and portable electronic devices. Imaginations don't get a workout like they used to.

We just finished carving out our Pumpkins on the eve of Halloween or aka: Devil's night! Now getting ready to eat and watch xfactor!

BTW...Hayles...I really loved all those board games. We didn't have a lot of things growing up and what we did have I cherished. Loved Monoply, Boggle, Shoots the Ladder, Candy Land, Dominos, Go Fish, Crazy 8, Rubik's cube and also Yahtzee!

I saw a photo of a squirrel eating a pumpkin on our local news. Anybody losing pumpkins after decorating outside?

This. They spend a lot of time in other people's imaginary worlds and can't imagine their own, and many don't know how to entertain themselves. Everything is done for them.

There's a thought!

Kids don't seem to have imagination anymore.

They use digital devices for that now! I used to play on the farm with my two brothers, swim in the dam and ride the horses. We had to share the two saddles between 4 horses. My brother learnt to ride bareback. Those were the days. We had to run a generator for the small tv we had and the oven. You had to make your own entertainment. We played games!! Shock horror. Monopoly, kerplunk, cards, scrabble etc...

You two are stirring memories of a VERY happy childhood.

Have you been watching the Wartime Farm on BBC2, Hayles. If not, do - it should evoke more memories

Skimonkey, did you ever get games compendiums at Christmas time? I remember quite large family gatherings at my Gran & Aunts' homes on Boxing Days. We used to play parlour games. Charades, pass the parcel, musical chairs, sing songs etc.

Oh HAPPY DAYS

Yes I do watch that. I'm not quite that old yet! Giggle. I'm a '66 World Cup baby.

Many memories. My girls still love to play board games though. But that is due to the family around them. They especially love quizzes, card games, who wants to be a millionaire and music quizzes.
Loads of choice on the iTunes App Store for that. We play monopoly etc... On iPad and iPhone now. Sign of the times lol.

One great advantage of playing board games on the iPad is that it's impossible to lose the various bits and pieces that are always disappearing from the original board games.

So true Scifan. Biggest problem in this house. We have a plastic chewing cat, a dog that chews anything and my own little dog who has no teef.
