Hot lava that magically appeared on the ground, unless it was a dark tile.
My brother and I played that in the supermarket.
I played that as well with one of my friends when her mom would take us to the supermarket. We also pretended that the grass was a safe zone and that the sidewalk and street was lava.
- The hardest thing about maths was multiplication without a calculator.
Everyone in my kindy year played this at lunch. The Girls were the Princesses and the boys were the sharks. Lava was the orangey floor, princesses could only step on the yellow brick road and Sharks could only 'swim' on the blue floor. The silver seats were bar. The sharks had to kidnap the Princesses and make them into Sharks. It was like a more complicated version of tips.
-Only stepping on a certin coloured tile in the supermarket and jumping from one to the next.
-This show. I still remember all the lyrics to the theme.
-Playing tips and 44 homes and hide and seek and Octopus and Bull-rush and giant pac-man and the freeze game and helicopter and scooter races and....I could go on forever.
-No-one caring of they see me in the same clothes twice.
-Doing really bad make-up on myself and everyone telling me that I look beautiful.
I couldn't even use my calculator back then because we had to find remainders.
"So world weary and tired of this shit"
I miss childhood games.
like the ones mentioned before, but sardines, 50-50 in, 'it' , melting candles, bulldog...
Oh and essa, what is 'giant pac-man'? never heard of it.
Well , you know how most schools have netball/basketball courts? Well we were only allowed to run along the lines and one person was the err..."eater". If they tipped you you had to become an "eater" and tip other people. I think thats how we played..
Oh and I miss 'stuck in the mud'! Oh the days where crawling under the legs of another person wasn't weird.
Oh God, I used to be obsessed with Neopets... My brother and I used to spend HOURS on there (no matter how much food you bought the bloody things, they were always hungey, all the time) with our Neopets. I remember having...what did I have.... an Aisha, a Kau, a Lenny and a Blumaroo <3 I loved the Usuki dolls on there- they were adorable.
I miss Neopets as well.
 My favourite was the one where the polar bear had to get the the bottom of the box by eating the ice-cubes. That had some funky music.
And I randomly remembered my password yesterday...to bad I can't remember my username..
I had a Shyrou, a Kacheek and a Squirrel thing...
I still play Neopets...
Did anyone else have Polly Pockets? I really want to find mine...
Haha yes! She had rubber clothes. I used to play with her in the swimming pool. Now she is faceless becuase all the paint came off. One of my friends fully had a Polly Pocket Mansion. We played it everytime I went over.
I miss re-acting scenes from movies at recess.
Special figures included a Polly Pocket version of I think Lucky and some other Dalmatian....
and last but not least, my sister got a "Polly Pocket - Minnie Mouse House" as a present as well. It was basically the coolest thing ever...
Special figure were a Polly Pocket version of Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy.
how I hated it then, how I love it now,....
Are those the new-ish Polly Pockets? I don't remember mine having rubber clothes or something at all. =/Oh damn, I feel like looking for my old Polly Pocket stuff now as well.
I remembered where my Polly Pocket ended up! She's sitting in a tree in the back-yard. We have an orniment tree where we put little plastic toys and things like that when we dont want them in the house anymore.
And the garage with the secret button that would open and fling the car out ... Oh how many times I did that to my sister ...
I also miss Danger Mouse.
You loved Tom and Jelly? I loved jelly too, but I think you mean Tom and Jerry (we all make mistakes like that, I once posted 'grill' instead of 'girl'.) Jokes aside, I loved Tom and Jerry too. I always thought Jeryy was a smarmy little so and so. I prefered tom much more.
I had a cat called Tom and a mouse called Jerry.
Spoiler: Couldn't help it.
Are you sure "set free" isn't code word for feeding it to snakes?
I was raised on cartoons made in the 80s and 90s. I can't remember the last time I watched Angry Beavers or Hey Arnold.
Ah, Tom and Jerry... That was some good stuff--especially the better-animated cartoons they originally made for theaters! People literally paid to see those and it's easy to see why. It still blows my mind how much comic mileage they got out of that one scream. AaaAAAAAAH! In my own humble opinion, cartoons in general lost some of their luster when people stopped trying to amuse adults with them. So many comic nuances...lost! Most of the stuff Tex Avery directed was really good too (Droopy, anyone?). H and B were competing with him, after all.
@Romeo: I know exactly what you mean. My sympathies were always with Tom--they were with the coyote too--but it was so fun to watch him and Jerry team up once in a while!
Oh right I loved Tom and Jerry. I always go for tom because I tend to support the underdogs...or should I say undercats! HAHAHAHAHAHA.....No.

Speaking of cartoon shows, I miss dexters lab so much.
I would say I 'miss' Rocky and bullwinkle videos we had, but we have them on DVD and I still watch them, so I don't really miss them at all.
I miss not having a routine. Most the time I feel like I'm stuck in a rut, and remember when I was 4 and thought making a mud pancake was how I spent the whole day. It was also my top priority to have fun. I miss that too.
I think I miss Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy more than Dexter's Lab, but only slightly more.
I'm at home sick today, so I think I might dig up my Tom and Jerry videos and watch them.
I miss this man right here\/ He was such a nice man... My childhood was spent in his company.
Agreed. He had such a way with kids... Come to think of it, I can't remember if he had any kids of his own. I think he did...
Also, mild weather. Grew up in Southern England and Montreal, so moving back the the middle of the East Coast has lead to some... weary summers.
This song Basically describes everything I miss and why. I hate this song because It makes me remember how much I loved my childhood and now...

Neeeeeeil!!!.......... seriously, that show was frustrating sometimes. Especially when you are a 8 year old kid trying to to practice the stuff they've shown. They also always used a huge amount of cardboard boxes and PVA glue in every episode.... and it's not like we were rich enough to buy bazillion amounts of glue and paint each week...
