Baby Boomers.

I remember playing jacks when I was little and all us girls would get down on the floor and play for hours. The only bad thing about jacks was if one ever got lost, look out for the yelling when someone stepped on it. Do you think that kids now would even know what jacks are if you ask them?

Ohhhh.... I sure remember that! Jackstones! And in my time (and yours too?), the stones came in metal and not plastic. Good innocent fun that helped our eye-hand coordination, improved our dexterity. In my day, over here, not everybody had a set, but everybody could join.

I loved to play jacks. I got to be pretty good at it too. I could sit out on the front porch for the longest playing. There was so many ways to play jacks also. I found it much easier to play using a golf ball, it bounced better and higher so there was more time to pick up the jacks. hahaha I remember playing onsies, pigs in the pen, double bounce and eggs in the basket. I am sure there were more. I wonder if they still make the metal ones or if they are all plastic.

The first thing that came to my mind was Jack Rocks or Jax.. I am probably way off base but as soon as I submit this response, I will check everyone else's guess..

Hi Chevee, I don't know what is Baby Boomers is, what so of games is that because we don't have that here, maybe its a same games we play but have different names, so what is it? hugs. Tamara

Yes, I've played that game. It was fun to try to get all of the jacks. (Is that what they are called?- Having a senior moment and can't remember what they are called LOL) I like the old games. They have so many new ones now but the old classics are the best.
