Spring Break...remember all the games you used to play when you were a kid?
It's time to whisk away those cobwebs of your mind and remember them...leave
the stories of those games to another generation. They taught you way more
than playing a game!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Games People Play
by Thelly Reahm © Tidbits of Time
1939
Ring Around The Rosie, A Tisket, A Tasket, and Farmer in The Dell…how the
voices echo in my mind from Kindergarten, First and Second Grade. All the
words and actions are still there, just like yesterday. Then suddenly by
Fifth Grade we were learning the Virginia Reel and Square Dancing and
socializing with clod footed boys that stuck their tongues out at us at
recess.
Doing The Maypole Dance, every spring, twisting and turning the long, crepe
paper streamers around the flagpole on the playground and mother’s coming
to watch, so proud of their children’s talent at braiding the brightly
colored ribbons so adeptly around the pole.
By Sixth Grade we were kicking a basketball around in circles and sometimes
kicking one another. We called it Dodge Ball and we were on the edge of
puberty, acting out aggressions long hidden in the classroom.
But on rainy days we played Simon Sez and Musical Chairs inside the
classroom, pushing back the oak desks a few rows to make room, when we
couldn’t play on the school yard.
Then on winter nights we might play Pick Up Sticks, Bingo or Old Maid,
Checkers, or if there was time, a rip snortin’ game of Monopoly, learning
the ins and outs of real estate purchases as we aced our friends into the
poor house, breaking their bank and all the time gloating over having the
good sense to purchase Boardwalk and Park Place early in the game!
Summer nights found us in the middle of the street, way after dark, playing
Kick the Can under the dim light of the street lamp. I can feel the back of
my dress clinging to my skinny shoulder blades as I worked up a sweat,
kicking that can further and further….away from the light, into the scary
shadows of the night. How brave I felt.
Playing. Playing. Playing.
No television to scatter us to the sofa in the parlor to sit in the dark and
grow soft, our shoulders slumped forward and out tummies popped out. No, we
played until our bodies were worn out and we were happy to be called in for
a bath and bedtime. Nobody was subtly trying to mold our soft little minds
into silly putty. No computer games of Doom stealing away the innocence of
childhood and programming minds to kill.
We played hard! We played long! We forgot we were poor and sometimes
hungry, and certainly not clothed to an inch of our lives. Brand names were
unheard of unless the ‘marker’ showed through on the flour sack material
that my Grandma made my dresses from. We forgot that our teeth protruded
and we smiled anyway because we did not know better, because we had that
good old American ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ moxy that we learned
going through hard times.
We didn’t know then that the lessons learned through the Dirty Thirties were
building character in us. Or that we would always know the value of a dime
and a dollar. We weren’t aware that doing the flag salute every day and
singing the Star Spangled Banner were teaching us to be patriotic and would
help us win a war. We didn’t know that seeing the Constitution and the 10
Commandments on the schoolroom wall caused them to become forever etched on
our memory.
We just kept playing our hearts out, hollering ‘Olli Olli Ox In Free’,
(Or...Alli, alli, outs in free!) knowing that someday, we would have to be
grown-ups like our parents, washing dishes, doing laundry, mowing lawns,
going to work, raising children and paying bills.
We kept playing games as long as we could, because we knew in our hearts
that we couldn’t be children forever.
Perhaps I have kept them all so fresh in my mind by playing them over
again. First with my children, then with my grandchildren and
great-grandchildren!
Oh, the games people play!
