I was good at jacks too mainly because my parents bought me a set every Christmas for 10 years as a stocking filler.

At Brownies we played  'kick the can' I seem to recall it involved hiding and creeping around to get back to base and to let everyone know you well, kicked the can.

I spend many a long hour playing with woodlice pre school age.  There were loads living around the coal bunker at the bottom of the garden.
