Hey out there! I am trying to locate a set of the big old style jacks like we used as kids ( I am a kid of 54 now) This is a surprise for a very dear friend. Can anyone help?
Someone just informed me of this site. What fun it is! I was thrilled to see a basket of Spaldeens in the store and bought a half dozen. I don’t think I ever bought one as a kid because during WWII rubber was rationed and the only place you could get them was on the black market. We acquired ours on the roof when the boys lost them playing stickball. We would retrieve them and wash them in hot water, that revived the bounce and we played these familiar girls games. No one in the store where I bought them understood the meaning of these precious balls. I had fun bouncing them on the counter. I remember “A” my name best but the other games ring a bell too. Thanks for sharing. I grew up in The Bronx, near Crotona Park.
Much Love and Respect TO My #1 fAvorite game of Double Dutch. I’ve been Playing since I Was about 6yrs old and Still Playing TOday. I’m Talkin about street playing straight from the GHETTO. Well I just thought that I should Introduce myself Being THat this is my first time hearing about this Web Site. This is Nita, Holla back if You Know what I’m Talking about. LATA!!
Hi, I have been collecting a lot of great jacks on ebay but would really like to find out about the history of the game and the different kinds of jacks. I got so many different kinds now I would love to know more about them. If anyone knows some information I’d love to hear from you. Thanks, Judy
I am 71 years old and and recently realized that my grandchildren don’t know how to play any of the games we played when I was little. I have bought a length of clothesline and, at Christmas, I’m going to take them outside and teach them to jump rope to some of the rhymes from your website. They brought back wonderful memories. Of course, I think I’ll be a “steady-ender” most of the time.
