The game's question
Listen first, then feel free to share the games you played yourself.
The playground and the sidewalk had their treasures: marbles in the palm of your hand, a hopscotch grid drawn in chalk, a jump rope slapping the pavement. You played until your cheeks were red and somebody called you in when the streetlights came on. What did you love to play most as a kid?
A story to tell—every answer is welcome
Need a hint?
Invite a gesture: the thumb flicking a marble, a hop on one foot, the swing of the rope. A movement often opens the door faster than words do.
Why this game : With childhood games comes the laughter that went with them. Your mother or father played them for hours—and can teach you the rules.
