Can’t say we ever did that. Closest thing would be: After seeing a Knights of the Round Table Movie with fighting on a cliff overlooking a pool of quicksand, we did reenact the scene moving round the room standing atop any piece of furniture we might find handy. To be on the floor would be
‘death’ in the pool of quicksand. (of course, PARENTS never knew just what mischief we kids might be generating)
A favorite pastime would be playing house under a huge, old tree. Though there was never a ‘play’ kitchen, with improvisation, a make-do kitchen was created which endowed us with countless mud pies. Umm good :-)

We did that but we didn’t have quicksand, we had alligators and cottonmouths.
I don’t know why, we were all New Englanders.
