What kept us busy as children? Maybe it was endless episodes of the Rugrats, or snacking on delicious Dunkaroos, or playing Skip-It out in the driveway, or maybe it was the insanely fun board games that we have forgotten about as we enter adulthood.
As I came across my old raggedy edition of Elefun, I began reminiscing on all the childhood board games I once played that children these days are clueless about because they have their eyes glued to their Ipads. Do you remember these great games, collegiettes™?
Elefun – The objective was to catch as many butterflies with your net as you possibly could while they were fluttering out of the motorized elephants trunk.
Perfection – The object of the game was to plug the holes with the correctly shaped object before the timer ran out or the board would explode.
Mall Madness – Shopping without going to an actual mall and spending real money, but still has the same affect for you a girl.
Gator Golf – The goal was to simply hit the golf balls into the gator’s mouth. First player to hit four in won.
What is your favorite childhood game, collegiettes™? Next time you take a study break, pop out an old board and have some fun.
