Childhood Games
Childhood Games are universal and yet varied. They can change based on location and generation. Just after recording this I discovered kids in my family love a game called pose tag, which sounded an awful lot like freeze tag which was what I played as a kid. So often the narrative is that kids today are only looking at screens, not out playing. My generation it was that we were addicted to the tv. I think every generation is the same, the older one says that the younger one isn’t right, not playing like kids should. Yet all children have games and play in their own way. In this episode we talk about the games we played and the different fun we had.
Joining us was Melissa of the Bathtub Mermaid Podcast, Jason of the Talk Nerdy 2 Me podcast, and Crazy Joe from the Megapodtastic podcast and YouTube channel.

Hand ball in Nutty’s area did include catching but hardly anyone did bc they hit the balls so hard you were almost guaranteed to drop it.
My kids still have dodge ball in school. They both adapted the same tactic and got super good at dodging, never actually throwing the ball off at all possible.
Oh, and field hockey was one of the most brutal games ever. I played varsity and we never had a season without broken bones and noses. They couldn’t give the girls ice hockey bc adding “shoe knives” would have resulted in murders.
And this is why Field Hockey was never something I would play.
