When I was just a little I always play outside. Running, playing, biking, and doing other things is my routine the whole day. I used to play with the wild plants that surround us the wild trees that are near us. I even have crazy ideas about the different things I can see in my surroundings. Sometimes my parents will call me in the afternoon to sleep but I refuse I still play building a mini sandcastle on our neighbour. While playing unexpected things happen like getting a wound or an injury that is the thing I didn't like when playing.
While I was reading some articles I remember the games we used to play. I can't stop smiling because I remember again my funny memories.
Playing with leaves
We have more than 10 tall trees that are near our house. We will get many leaves in that trees. We always play this game called "lutu-lutuan", since we don't have any equipment for that game we will get a coconut and we will use it as a bowl and the leaves we gather will put it there and we will add some water. Fire is super dangerous so we don't use fire we just imagine that it has a fire. Lol
If I have soup then I also need to have grilled meat, the other leaves we gather we will put on the table then we will imagine that we are grilling it. We will use our play money to buy our soup and barbeque. It is so fun and funny to hear.
Mango is a very common tree in our town, we have 4 trees of mango that is near in our house. I don't know if you did this also we will make a mini bag using the mango leaves. I forgot how to do it but I still remember I spent many leaves before making a perfect mini bag. Lol
Playing physical games
Summer is the best season for me before. We used to play on the near farm in our house. We play many kinds of game-like badminton, soccer, catch the monkey and many more. But we have a favourite game that we always play. " kugtar bola" it is a mixture of baseball and soccer. It is played by a team, all you need to do is to kick the ball as hard as you can and pass all the bases and after passing all the base congrats your team got a 1 point. We always play this game because it is really fun but it is the most tiring game for me. Lol
Playing in the pool
We don't have an inflatable pool but we have a huge basin. First, we will fill up the basin with water and after that, it's swimming time. But there's more having a drink while swimming is the best. We will buy juice in the near store in our house and we will prepare it immediately. We spent 1-2 hours enjoying the pool. Lol
Playing Hide and Seek
Every 4 P.M. I will go outside and I will call off my neighbour to play hide and seek. We will hide under the grass, in the middle of a cornfield, under the banana tree, in the top of the tree or inside the house. Sometimes we spent an hour for just 1 round of Hide and Seek. Lol
Playing Computer
We had a computer before but I rarely play. My brother always plays on the computer that is why I rarely play on the computer and I have many reasons why I don't play. First I don't know how to play the games there like GTA San Andreas I prefer playing Friv games than playing GTA San Andreas. Second I am not a computer expert that is why I don't know what button I will click I remember I don't even know how to search in Google. Third I am not addicted to gadgets before I prefer playing outside than using a gadget.
I am so grateful that I didn't get addicted to computers in my child age. Playing outside the house with your friends and neighbour is the best of all. But this day children can't go outside and they can't play outside. I hope this pandemic will end soon so they can enjoy running outside, climbing trees, and playing with dirt.
This your article remembered me far back days when am little, that time is better them now. Beautiful article friend
