Singapore childhood games and hobbies in the past



Recollection
There were many games during the past that children play but the more popular ones were five-stones,hopscotch,chapteh,marbles and soccer. The rules of five stones is to throw a stone up,grab another stone and then catch the falling one that you just threw up.When you have all 5 stones in your hand,you proceed to level 2 which you throw a stone up and grab 2 stones at once now then catch the falling one.You will complete the game when you finished level 4. Hopscotch is a game which there are 10 boxes.You will start of by throwing an object at one of the boxes,then u will only use the same feet to hop in the boxes.If there are 2 boxes side by side,you must place each feet in each box.When you reach the box with the object,you have to balance yourself and pick the object up and then hop back to the 1st box. Chapteh is a game which you must kick it in the air for either the most number of times or the longest duration. Marbles is a game that must be played with friends which everyone has the same amount of marbles.There would be a circle drawn in the center of everyone and you must take turns to throw your marble into the circle.You can either focus on throwing your marble into the circle or hitting your friends marble out of the circle.When everyone has used up all their marbles,the one with the most number of marbles in the circle wins the game. soccer is played during the past up till now.It is played with 11 people on each team but during the past there were not so many children staying near each other so they play in small groups and a small field. Most of the games are played with friends to compete with each other.If you were to ask me if I would rather stay at home and play computer games with myself or play past childhood with all my friends,I would choose the 2nd option.
