Games from my childhood

I am having the grands over tomorrow and was planning some activities and started thinking, we should play some games-- learn something new yet introduce them to some games that will, hopefully, never grow old.
The first "game" I remember is Mr. Potato Head, but we used real potatoes!  I know I had that but it was always a problem when I needed a fresh, new potato.  Thank goodness in the sixties, Hasbro introduced Mr. Potato Head in plastic!  I think we might need a set or two of these in our house!
Next, came Cootie.  I think what I liked about that game were all the cool bug parts and it was easy to play with Ginny and often we played with the parts and had just as much fun as playing the game.
The game I think I played the most was jacks.  Oh, I loved jacks!  Onesies, twosies, pigs in a pen, and around the world.  And boy, did we have to make sure we picked up the jacks-- they can hurt like heck when you step on one.  We played outside in the driveway or carport and inside in our room.  Many hours working on the right toss of the jacks in order to pick them up, 1, 2 or 3 at a time.  
Another favorite was playing with paper dolls.  Paper dolls in my childhood were the kind you had to cut out and remember to not cut off the tabs!  I spent hours playing with paper dolls but also lost many when my dad did a room inspection and there was paper on the floor.  The paper dolls would be tossed out!  All that time cutting out their clothes and in an instant -- gone!  But I still loved them and I just got the next birthday girl a set today-- complete with case to store them in!
So, I think my mission the next few months is to bring back some of these games, to teach my grandkids how much fun we can have just playing games.    I'm always trying to hit that teachable moment... we just need to play!
