Can you help me by strolling down memory lane?

I need your help! I'm working on planning a 50th b-day party. I'm wanting to include games/activities that were popular while she was growing up!
Can some of you take a stroll down memory lane and share some of your favorite games and things to do while you were growing up in the 50/60's?

Do you mean board games? Or yard games?

Yard games: tag; one, two three Lighthouse!; Giant Step Man; Simon Says. Hop scotch. Jump rope.

Board games: Dating Game; Candy Land; Spy Detector; various card games.

Not sure what exactly you are looking for!

Here, these sites may help. Hula Hoop and Twister!!!!

You might rent American Graffiti for some ideas. I always loved The Stroll. The Stroll was the dance they did where the men get in 1 line and the women in another. Then they meet up at one end and stroll down the line dancing. I always thought that looked fun.

Of course, if she was born 50 years ago, she is too young to have been doing The Stroll.

Thanks for all the ideas! These are exactly what I'm looking for! Please keep them coming!

Freedom- Those sites are great! Thank you!

Poodle skirts, the TWIST, marbles, saddle shoes!!! This is fun!!!
