when i was a child we played a game called new york we would bounce a tennis ball off a wall or side of a house their was a number of way to catch the ball one bounce two bounce behind back etc if you missed you lost your turn it was great i would like to share this with my kids but have forgotten the sequence can anyone help
Seems like most city games where passed down from 1930/40’s. Until some areas got to dangerous to leave kids outside,watching tv,and then computer and video games really slowed playing outdoors.A major factor in the 1950/60’s was,everyone’s mom was home all day.Now its daycare,i guess somewhere in the future there will be a nostalgia site for daycare memories. SALOOGIE!
