Simple pleasures exactly.

Off ground tick, british bulldogs, hopscotch, two ball, gutters (kerbies), allalio, skipping, hide n' seek, nearest the wall (with coins), bursting tar bubbles (especially 1976), s.p.o.t. & 60 seconds (football games) - (the older posters will remember a lot more that phased out before we were kids no doubt) A mixture of things to do for both girls and boys there.

Not only was it exercise but it was problem solving and face to face interaction and meeting new friends. How many only do this down a computer line these days.
