I know how to draw a giraffe walking by a window as well as a Mexican frying an egg, as well as a black cat in a coal house in the dark  ;-)

Yep - hop scotch several pages back  ;).  I hated hide and seek ….. I was often left behind when the older children went off to play …..

Yep, we had ludo which we played as a family on a Sunday evening - no TV in our house until I was 13.

If it was wet Mum would find a large white sheet and a blanket and we would play 'dens' underneath the family table which pulled out ….. OK as long as we didn't put on the legs  ;D

Wracking my brain for board games that I played as a child, but actually have no recollection of any, apart from snakes & ladders. Board games became a feature in my teenage years as my friends had things like Monopoly & Cluedo. Patience, now I played a lot of that! Don't think my mum could be bothered with such things.

I was taught to play chess at the age of 7 - a 'proper' game.  Can't remember that I enjoyed it much but I just did as I was told if it kept parents happy  :(
