Toys or Games That I Played When I Was A Kid
Blog #187

My childhood years were full of fun and enjoyment. We played a lot with my siblings and relatives. We watch television but for watching television was only in the evening because we still didn't have electricity in those years. We only use rechargeable batteries so we could watch those popular teleseryes way back then. We also have some toys that our grandma brought at a cheaper price.
Speaking of toys, I remember so many toys that grandma gave to us and those that we used to play with my classmates. Here's the list of those toys.
Milo Puzzle
Milo Puzzle game was our favorite to play with when we were young. I remember clearly how we used to play it before. Our grandma was there to watch us in every assemble of the puzzle and she made delicious snacks for us while we were playing.
That kind of game can challenge one mind and that's the purpose why my grandma had it. If I'm not mistaken, she had kept 5 milo big puzzles for us to play every afternoon. We really enjoyed it a lot.
Pogs

Have you played this before?
During my elementary years, pogs were very popular. My grandma has a thick pile of pogs and she usually just keep it so that during our free time, we have another toy to play with.
We tossed it in the air and the winner will be one whose pogs showed the front side. It was full of fun since my playmate was my siblings, especially my brother. My eldest brother was very close to me and he was my favorite playmate when I was a kid.
Teks

Teks was one of my favorite toys too. Why? It's because those teks have the image of my favorite shows before like Dragonballs, Marina, Pokemon, and many more.
We usually played this with my classmates. Sometimes we do cheating on this. Those that have the same images, we would paste it to each other so that whenever it is tossed in the air, we could guarantee that we would win because both are showing the front side only. That's one of the tricks of those who want to have more teks. Having more teks makes us more popular.
If the opponent knew about it means we can't use it anymore. What we did was used the teks that always win. Sometimes we would crumple it a little because it has more chances of winning than that new teks.
One of the most unforgettable memories I have of playing teks was when my cousin fell down the stairs. It was one afternoon when we were busy playing when suddenly he didn't notice that his one feet were on the edge of the stairs already. We were scolded by our uncles at that time but they never hit us.
Jakstone

This was one of the popular games during the '80s and 90's too.
Whenever we lost the jacks, we replaced them with stones. My and my girl classmates had always enjoyed playing it but sometimes we quarreled when they don't want us to play with them. I didn't own a jackstone set before and I just relied on my classmate's toys that's why I only got the chance to play this when they let me join them.
Chinese garter

The fifth one was the Chinese garter. I started playing this one when I saw my sister's playing it.
At first, I found it hard to play this game but when I get used to it, I became an expert and I sometimes saved my playmate whenever she can't play it successfully.
There are many ways of playing the Chinese garter but the one that I love most was the same as the shown pictures.
There are still lots of toys or games that I played before like those toy soldiers but I just shared these five.
