I’m 19. Sometimes it was frustrating to grow up today. There were so many things I wasnt allowed to do because they were “too dangerous”. Many things are banned. In my elementary school we werent even allowed to pick things off the ground, from snow to sticks. Meaning snowball fights were forbidden, I pretended a stick was a sword once and had to spend three recesses alone in a room. Kids today are rarely allowed to have fun, so they often give up on it and learn to enjoy the tech given by their parents instead. Boredom can be dangerous, I watched my peers grow up bored, and always being told “no” and not being allowed to have fun. This led some of them to grow up angry, finding temporary relief from boredom in drugs and such when we reached highschool. I’m lucky to have parents that made sure I didn’t have my phone until I was older, that allowed me to play outside and get bruised and grow from it. It’s not fair for children who aren’t that lucky to be blamed for being indoors on technology all day when that’s how their parents raised them, and when school’s today don’t allow play for the sake of “safety”.
I was "Jacks" champ in my primary school in the 70's. Remember playing for hours on cobblestone streets. You only needed a few marbles or ball and some imagination and playmates and it was fun. Mum called you in for supper and after that you had cheap colouring books, comics and puzzles until bedtime. I would'nt swap that for all the high tech and pampering that goes on today. The kids I see today are incredibly self absorbed and seem desperate for attention. Don't see much natural happiness in them.
my era too - happy days - its the old story I guess - we had little, but had so much fun - no telly - no computers - just active games outside - footy, girls always skipping etc / always on the park - fit as a fiddle - - - but didn;t realise it of course- and the only time we got in to trouble ? - - - - we used to get chased by the police for playing footy in the park when it was closed !!- yes truly happy days - -
I keep seeing comments about how these kids were free to play without overprotective adults hovering over them. But what I kept thinking is that I wish kids played this nicely when I was growing up.
Yes Mick, I´m one of those few old enough to smile and enjoy this video. I replied last year and I do it once more; Those where the happy and free days of our youth Mick!
+Margaretha RydbergHa ha,,,,Hi Maggan,I guess all these games were played by our generation everywhere,not just the UK then,it certainly was a golden age for us....As I said on Google+ I thought I would share this again on here,because for the past few weeks I've had literally hundreds of "Friend" requests on Facebook,from people that have watched this video on my timeline.It's been shared on there over 3,000 times now !!!!
By, they were good times. My era...🙄🙄🙄....We was brought up with nowt, and I mean nowt. However happy childhood memories playing out in the streets. Better times, even with no money .OOOOH I can remember the first on our street with a tele..They let all the kids, me as well watch it through there window...Feel for the young ens today, What a world there growing up in. 😱😱😱
In the mean time thousand of kids were left hungry and needing a bath. What was so wonderful about having an outside toilet and no bath in the house. Things were not as wonderful as your imagination likes to tell us.
The toys I had would probably be banned now - chemistry set, meccano, cap guns and an electric train - sharp objects, mains transformers, poisons etc. - I'm glad I grew up then! Yes, there was polio, TB and other diseases caused by poor diet and minimal healthcare, but is today any better - AIDS, autism, diabetes, gender and mental health issues, etc.?
George Reynolds we weren't baby wiped from birth and built up strong immune systems. I never knew anyone as a child that had depression or allergies. I am so glad that I was a child of the fifties.
@@janicebarthram6759I lived thru 40s and 50s, yes there were pleasant times which we all remember, but not the bad times. I now am retired, I my own bungalow have have nice modern car 2 pensions and life is pleasant. Would I want the fifties life style back, not on your life!
@@anthonyeaton5153 I wouldn’t want those days back, but I am so glad that I had them. At least we at our age have reaped the benefits of growing up with the opportunities to buy our own property, have job security, get to see a doctor and feel safer on our streets…..unlike my grandchildren.
I remember it all! The cobbled streets(to give horses traction), children's outside activities and clean sensible wear ready to go anywhere in. Now it seems kids have to have their parents spent a fortune on "protective wear' before they can ride a bike. Nobody wants serous injury, however, bumps and scrapes never hurt anyone, girls included!!
As we ran off to play with pals to adventures and a free run of the city, the only health and safety consisted of a mother shouting after us: "Mind the roads!".
Great to see that's just has is was did you notice not one overweight kid out there they where really enjoyable days I played all of them and I'm still not overweight I'm nearly 78 six foot two fourteen stone play golf three times a week living the dream after doing my fifty years working
Yeah, that's us the ," Baby Boomers" at play ..in a fear free Britain....kids today ARE NOT FREE......how I miss those days...we may not have had much ..but we were allowed to be kids.....My mum used to go out and leave the milk money OUTSIDE and the key under the mat....21st century is HORRIBLE. Dr Who, where are you ..I need you...!
Yes mum used to leave the back door open for us if she had gone shopping .I went to school with my brothers mum was at work and cane home again from school with my mates or on my own I'm sure the was bad men out and about but no one spoke about them .I usedvto walk home down a quiet entry to get home but it didn't bother me but I wouldn't do it now I dont go out in the dark alone I only heard about hindley and Brady cos dad had the news in think we were shielded from bad things happening its all over the news now when some bad had happened
Notice that none of the kids were obese or overweight and that all were healthy and active even though none of them looked to have come from from wealthy homes or privileged backgrounds. That's because they ate proper fresh food not full of sugar, fat or additives and they would have eaten a lot more fruit and vegetables than kids today. Plus they spent their spare time outside playing games and sports which kept them healthy and not in front of x boxes, video games and computers.
Hi i was born in 1948 there was rationing on you could not buy many sweets and not much sugar or fruit plus we could'nt afford a tv so we had to play outside a lot , by the way FAT is not bad for your health fat makes you thin sugar and bread and starch makes you fat
In the 50s Polio was rife as were measles whooping cough and diphtheria and infant mortality also was high. Don’t get carried away about all kids being healthy in the 50s. Certainly some aspects of those times were healthier but not all.
I remember most of these games from the 1970s when I was a lad. Some I do not recognise though like the one with four bases set out in a square and a centre base.
We all remember the good times the bad times are pushed out of our memory box. Speak to guys who fought in the war, they talk about the comradeship but hardly ever about the battles fought.
Remember the 'piggy back' game at 0.25 well. Used to get one of our team to get on the first back in line so you could jump over him resulting in a total collapse! Injured my left knee real bad in this game a long time ago so never again!
brill.Same thing happend on our streets as kids. Girls skipping. Making swings on lamp post.Jump on there backs.I forgot wot is was called N NOT a car in sight.Kids were out playin.. Now it's all phones n iPad games.Lovely video u put on here.
Thank God all the kids have stopped playing in the street - otherwise we would have nowhere to park our cars. I wonder why the kids stopped playing in the street?
Children got along, they played well together. Now it is all about fighting and stupidity in the school yards. Oh and that little tot is so cute. Nice video!
Luv Autumn Blaze Pony Yes, but the fights were just mostly just pushing and shoving, and sometimes a bit of punching before a teacher would come and break it up. There was very little chance of being stabbed as there is today. It was a much simpler and less scary time.
Great memories of rough times back then , when kids were able to be kids and get mucky and play and use imagination , I wonder how todays youngsters would cope if they went back in time , they'd be scared witless lol , great upload Mick , and just love the cobbled streets and roads and hardly any cars .. did you ever chase lorries lol we did and tried to get on the back of the coal lorry and nick a bit of coal lol

So much better now - no playing outside getting vitamin d, no learning how to interact, make friends, deal with 'teasing', no exercise, no making your own fun, no joie to vivre, no being children - none of that rubbish.
I wonder which planet people are on saying kids were healthy polio rickets bronchitis because of smog the reason there thin is because they were hungry most of the time
They weren't thin because they were hungry - not generally anyway - it was because they took a lot of exercise and ate real food, not the ersatz rubbish many eat today.
@@Bertrum123 Good heavens - I wasn't saying that all those illnesses weren't in evidence, but even then the majority would have not suffered from them. I stand by my 'not hungry' comment - the fact was that everybody, adults as well, took a lot more exercise than they do today, hence the absence of obesity - or even fatness. Regrettably, the advances made in public health, which began to accelerate from that time, are being adversely impacted today by peoples' life styles. I was definitely on that planet though, even though I was several years older than the kids in that film.

Well that childhood should never be wasted. We are adults longer then we are kids. We can’t do it over like one species of jellyfish/sea jelly.
Kids out on the streets playing, not in their bedrooms playing games, no obesity you notice, just good healthy kids having fun, brilliant days.
cause games didnt exist lol
Kids out on the streets because houses too small to accommodate them?
@@Toby_the_Glen No, it was because we spent as much time as possible outdoors playing with our friends. We had to be called in for lunch and dinner.
@@bahooniesLunch and dinner? We called them dinner and tea.
