We are having 3 grandkids this weekend,,I am planning things that wont cost much,,,or anything at all! Once we made dog treats,,they all loved making them.....as did the dog....so I have all the ingredients but one,,so theres a cheap entertainment.Also going to let them help make dinner,,that always goes over good. Hungry

Indoors we used to play 'I spy, with my little eye..'

We played 'Snap' with cards.

We played 'Jacks' (I loved this).

We played 'Hide & Seek'.

We played records and made up dance routines...my fav. was 'Summer Lovin' from Grease Smile

Then we'd put on a show after a few rehearsals! I'm so glad my parents didn't have a video camera...lol.

My mum used to place miscellaneous items onto a tray or table-top, let us look at everything for a few moments, then cover everything with a towel and see who could remember the most items. No idea what that was called. 'The Memory Game'? lol.

I used to love swing hula hoops too, or playing handball etc.

Like Kim, we also played shop.
