Childhood Memories

The Of My Childhood Are Listed Below; "How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood" Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842 Being outside and playing double dutch, with my sister, cousins, and my best friend. Jump rope, we really loved it so much. We enjoyed playing hopscotch to no end. hoping to each square was a sheer delight, Back then, the game happened to be a trend We would go to the park to fly a kite, swing on swings, and get on the giant slide, On the days when it was sunny and bright. I remember playing a game of hide, and seek; it was exciting and much fun, but the little kids were found and they cried. The memories of my youth, I have tone, we had a good time playing in the sun. *Double- Dutch a jump-rope game played with two long jump ropes swung in opposite directions so that they cross rhythmically. *Hop-Scotch a children's game in which each child by turn hops into and over squares marked on the ground to retrieve a marker thrown into one of these squares.

What a wonderful poem of a carefree happy, childhood,we also played a lot of hopscotch and skipped, challenging each other to go double with the skipping rope. Good luck my friend with the contest, a winner I'm sure. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Double-Dutch is still very popular in Japan. But it has been decades since I saw anyone playing hopscotch, perhaps because heels are now glued to shoes? Aloha! Rico
