Remember pretending that the floor is lava? You have to climb on top of the furniture to get to the other side of the room. If so much as a baby toe touches the lava floor, you lost. My brother and I had all kinds of fun with that game. If we got within arm's reach of each other we always tried to push each other down to the floor.
I also remember carrying a small mirror around pointed at the ceiling. I'd hold it horizontally at about waist-height and look down at it and pretend that I was walking on the ceiling. Navigating stairs was a real challenge while doing this.
FORTS! I built forts out of anything and everything. Sofa cushions and blankets were my main building materials, but anything goes. Aluminum fold-up lawn chairs and beach towels worked well for outdoor forts. In the winter it was all about snow forts and a giant armory of well-packed snowballs for snow fort defense.
Let's hear about your great childhood games.
