For all games from old times are one similar thing- they don't need a lot of expensive materials.

Most games are still quite popular nowadays as well. These games are important part of education and time spending for families. Knowledge about games and playing are passed down to other generations. And that is really nice! Because games are like connection between kids, their parents and grandparents.

One day children from the group „Žvangučiai“ (Little bells) decided to take the Time train and leave to the past.

There they met Aronas‘ grandmother Aušra.

She told about her childhood and favourites games when she was a child and when her mother was a child too.

Grandma Aušra showed children some musical instruments: a rattle from a pig bladder, whistle made from clay (later children sang a song using these instruments).

The guest  showed and helped children to make dolls form paper, threads, wooden board and cloth.

The activity was interesting involving children to learn about the past and beeing active participants in the practice.

I used to play “sack races” when I went to the school as a child.

To run the race, we enter the sacks and these are tied around the waist or held by our hands.

We must move by jumping without getting out of the bags or falling.

My friends and I liked to play “the donkey”.

One player leaned his back on a wall and the rest of his teammates will stand in a row and in a “donkey” position, forming a line, tightly holding their legs and with their heads between the legs of whoever was in front of them. It consisted of jumping on top of them in turns, as if you were riding a horse.  If those who held the weight endured, they won.

I liked to play “handkerchief” with my friends when I was a child.

Two groups were made. In each group, each player had to wear a number. The teams did not know the numbers of the opposing team. Two distant lines were made and each team stood behind their line. A child stood in the middle with a handkerchief in his hand and said a number.  The child who had that number ran to the handkerchief.  The one who took the handkerchief had to run to the part of the field running so that the opponent would not catch him. If the child succeeded he or she earned a point.  If the child were the one running behind and caught the one running with the handkerchief, the point went to their team.

My friends and I used to play “little blind hen”.

The child who was blindfolded with a handkerchief was called "little blind hen." The rest of the players stand around the one who kept it, forming a circle. The one who "kept it" was blindfolded and then the players asked him: "Little blind hen, what have you lost?" to which the one who keeps it replied: "A needle and a thimble."  Then the rest of the players answered: "take three turns and you will find them".  The one who played the blind hen circled three times while the rest of the players sang: "One, two and three".  Then the little blind hen advances with outstretched arms trying to touch one of the other players, and when she did, she had to guess who it was by touching their hair, head, face and hands. If she got it right, we changed places and if not, the rest of the players yell at the one who had failed, continuing the game until the little blind hen got it right.

I used to love to play “rubber band” with my friends when I was little.

The game needed a rubber band attached at the ends. Two children held her with their legs apart.  The one who touched him began to jump in and out of the rubber, stepping on it, entangling it around his legs to the rhythm of different songs.  If it twisted or did not step well it became "bad" then the boy or girl had to start holding the rubber. The game had its levels of difficulty because you started jumping at the ankles and went up to the knee, bum or hip. All this could be done in several games.

I really liked to play to jump the rope when I was little.

The only material that was needed was a thick rope and a lot of friends to jump. We jumped alone or in a group. The rope swung over our head and under our feet. We jumped as long as we could without it wrapping around us.  In a group, two friends had to hit the rope holding it at both ends, and the rest were the ones who jumped. We sang songs that encouraged the game.

I used to play “hopscotch”.
A series of boxes with numbers from 1 to 10 were drawn on the ground with chalk. A stone was thrown into box one without leaving it. We jumped to square number two on one foot and from that square to the last one. We did a stop with both feet and we came back in reverse. In box number 2, stone was collected from box 1 and skipped at the beginning. Then we threw the stone to the following squares and  kept doing the same thing until you completed all the squares. The child who completed all ten rounds first and without fail won the game.

When I was little one of my favorite toys was hide and seek.
We gathered all the children of the neighborhood and we played very well.
It was fun, because every time we were looking to find and
different hiding place and many times we hid two or three
children in the same hiding place at the same time, trying with childish
naivety to hide our bodies behind trees or small
objects, thinking we do not appear. The hero of the day was
one who successfully hid and set everyone else free
shouting "damn zeal for all".

When I was a small child I used to play with balls. That is, those players who participated placed from one shot next to the other. And we were all trying to reach them from a distance of about five meters. Whoever marked the first in a row, took them all or the second, third and so on. What was most valuable was to collect a lot of colored glass, metal balls and to have a large and beautiful collection.

I liked that we played all the children of the neighborhood in the alans (empty plots) of Farsala, games such as saraim-saraim, blind fly, balls, chase, apples. I liked that my grandfather took me for walks in the various neighborhoods in a makeshift stroller and that my grandmother took me with her to her girlfriends' houses, which were all detached houses, and I played in their gardens that were full of trees.

The team that got the most kids wins.

Our friendship was so strong that we never quarreled.

We were all happy together.

Once upon a time, children did not have computers and electronic games.

They played all together in the fields, in the squares, in the school yard

and where else play could be easily set up.

Let us ask parents and grandparents to tell us which toys

they loved to play when they were little. Some of them may be

do not know them!

I used to play with the rope.
It took 2 people to hold it and as many people as they wanted "came in" along the rope in motion, without touching them.
Players bent or jumped to avoid the rope; so they stayed in the game.

I used to play football.
In the fields, on the streets, in schools, a team game usually for boys, with a leather ball.
In my years with a leather deflated ball, with a thousand patches.
We did not care about the appearance of the ball ... the game mattered.

Two players stand facing each other, with the children in the middle. The two players standing facing each other, try to hit one of the children inside with the place, it "burns" and comes out of the game. On the contrary, the child who manages to catch the place without falling down wins an "apple" that will allow him, if at some point he "burns" not to go out, but to stay in the game, or, if a friend burns him to grant it!

I used to play Bizz.
The children gather and decide who will "take care" of them. So he sits on a stool and puts his right hand under his left armpit, keeping his palm open upwards, while with his left hand he keeps his eyes closed.

-The other players stand to his left and one of them approaches him, slaps his open palm and then leaves with the others. Everyone jumps around him and turns his finger shouting "Bizz!"
-The one who guards them must guess who hit him.

I used to play the long donkey.
It is a children's game that was played by boys with various variations throughout Greece, mainly in the older years.

The game was played by two teams. The members of one formed a row bent, with one having its back turned to the other. The children of the other group took turns and jumped over the children of the first until they all climbed on the back of the "donkey". If they did it without the other team's kids throwing them down, they would win.

It takes two or three people. We put the rubber on the legs as you see in the photo and we start. At first the legs are open and the rubber band at the ankle, and then the rubber band goes up to the knee and thighs. The movements are: you put one foot between the rubber band, then you put the other one out the first one. Then both feet inside, and finally both outside.

I used to play "Pass, pass the bee".
To play the game, two children make
with their hands a bridge and the other children pass under it.
The children who make the bridge choose two words, one for each.
Then they sing a song: "Passes - passes the bee with the bees and the children".

Zoom - zoom - zoom as the bees pass by to see what they have to say ".
The child who will be under the bridge, when the song is over is caught by the children who make the bridge.
Then they tell him the two words they chose and the child must choose one of the two.
Whichever word he chooses goes with the child who chose that word.
Whoever gets the most in his team wins.

-The tsiulika started with a child from one group being in the position of the stone (base) and with the big wood (chiliko wood) he hit the small wood (tsiulika) with force to reach as far as possible and not to be caught by the players from the other team.
