Games We Used To Play MEME
Nixdminx has started a huge meme with all the founding members of British Mummy Bloggers
1. The game I loved? Heads down thumbs up, we’d play it at the end of the school day. It was a really nice way to end the day and one of those sweet things you leave behind when you move up to secondary school.
2. The game I hated? Tag. It always seemed really pointless to me.
3. The games we made up as kids?
Obstacle Courses
We’d set a route through the park and time or race each other, this idea was from the Krypton Factor when they do the assault course at the end (which I’ve actually done).
Traffic Jams
We’d use the car mat or assemble roads and pretend the cars were in traffic jams. You’d think it would be boring but it kept my brother and I amused for hours.
Heads and Volleys
We made up several variations of the football game heads and volleys and played them well into the night!
4. The games my child has invented?
Erin’s only three so she’s just coming into this but recently it’s constantly a role reversal game where she is mummy and I’m Erin.
Pretending to go on a summer holiday and assembling a car from two chairs and some soft toys.
Heads down thumbs up is still played in primary (and high schools)
I’ve seen sixth year pupils playing it in the last few minutes of a class
Too funy you don’t like tag! Do you hate memes too? I have to confess I’m not a fan.
No way Terry, I haven’t played it since I was about seven.
A Modern Mother: It depends what the meme is
