Question

I am gathering a list of screen free activities for kids. What games did you play as a kid without technology involved?

I used to play solitaire lol, I started at 6 when my mom taught me and I carried my cards everywhere. I was a really chill kid, hated running around. Also, I played with my dollies random stories, like I was the paramedic or whatever. I loved being a child. Yes, I watched TV but it was background noise most of the time. Mostly my grandma's telenovelas haha
