I grew up in the Bronx near P.S. 76 and Evander H.S. we’d play just about everything: we had certain seasons when the Pea shooters would come out. Soda straws and chick peas, I think, and we would be shooting each other for hours. It’s a bit dangerous, but that was the fun. Not as dangerous and shooting paper clips and we did that to, with rubber bands. We’d normally play both of those shooting war games hiding behind cars. Not to many rules, just teams played until one side surrendered. We also played marbles, but we used elaborately designed shoe boxes with ramps and holes that contestants would have to roll their marble through or lose it. If they got their marble up the ramp and into the shoe or cigar box they won any number of marbles. This was Las Vegas before we knew it.

I filled many many days playing Scully in Village on the Green in Haverstraw, New York in the early 70s. We had a board painted on a basketball court in the park. It was great to have hours of uninterrupted play and you could really send the other players way out of town when you wanted to. Thanks for a great site…I needed the information to refresh my memory on the rules to teach my own kids.

Well I would be considered a baby to most of you. I’m 21. I lived at 2055 Cruger Ave, Pelham Parkway/Bronx Park East area, across from PS 105. Went to that school, until 6th grade, JHS 127 in Castle Hill, and Dodge VHS in Fordham. I lived on Cruger untill I was 20 years old and and now I live on 184th st and Park Ave. I remember playing off the stoop, skelly, asses up, brake the chain, steal the bacon, stickball, punchball, jumping rooftops, hiding in Parkchester projects, ect.. Now I travel all over the Bronx to play handball. It’s so great to hear about how the Bronx was back in the days. Please tell all the stories you can. Up until now I felt like I was the only one defending the Bronx. Although my mom and dad grew up on 149th street, I don’t get to hear the real stories about how it was back than.

This is Emily. My mom says that cracked marbles really works. I want to know what kind of marbles won’t crack when you heat them. I don’t want to break up any of my marbles. i really like shooting and I hope to learn more games soon. My mom doesn’t have her marbles any more but she says everyone had their own Crown royal bag that they carried their precious steelies,cat eyes and crystals in. maybe the 60’s weren’t that bad!!!!!!!

Someone earlier mentioned Three Steps To Germany. Back in BKLYN (sunset park/bay ridge),the “little” kids had to play that across the street sidewalk to sidewalk. The “big” kids got tho play “Six Steps To Germany” which was played from sewer to sewer.” Only the new kids had to jump as we “experts” could walk directly to our carvings in the tar. For some reason, we only played this game in the evening. Strange!
