July 13, 2021 Grand Prompt To Ask Your Grands
What was your favorite outside game to play in the summer?
There is still time to send in your story
Be sure to use the hashtag #grandprmptstoaskyourgrands.
Here are the shares so far:
I posted how my research discovered children playing patsy (another name for hopscotch) in the city streets and sidewalks during the Playing Patsy in the Streets
My mom and her brother told the story when her brothers finally offered to play with their little sister in Summer Play .
Maria recalled she had asked her grandma what she like to do as a child. Maria’s grandma reported that cross country skiing in Darlarna Sweden was her favourite outdoor activity.
My cousin, Joann said, “When I was younger we played a lot of jump rope and stoop ball in Brooklyn, New York. The teenage boys played Johnny on the Pony. Six or seven teenagers would line up in front of the Johnny pump (fire hydrant) and jump on the backs of players. Whoever jumped closer to the pump would win.
Donna @retirementreflections offered a beautiful photo and a question, “What was your favorite way to spend summer vacation?”
