Marbles. The person placing the marbles was "doking". We also used an assortment of ball-bearings, aptly named "ironies". "Goons" were the big ones. No one was allowed to do "donkey drops"! Who remembers the game the girls in junior school used to play - "jacks"? What about some of the others like "Crocodile, crocodile, may I cross your golden river?" K.I.N.G spells King? And what about skipping, saying little rhymes like "Cinderella met a fella"? Tell you what, I reckon it beats Nintendo, etc. any day!
