Jacks and marbles were great favorites. How about Hopscotch?
We all carried a piece of chalk so we could draw one where ever we went.
I couldn't even find a picture of the configuration we used back in the 50's.

I used to ask for a shiny new golf ball for my birthday, since they seemed to work the best on the hopscotch stairs area at my school.AND was thrilled when my dad painted a hopscotch area on our sidewalk. Spent many an hour playing there as a kid

Remember marbles too!! For some reason I wasn't into them. Maybe it was considered a 'boys' game? Not sure why that would be though. Would love to have jacks and marbles now, before they disappear.
I can't tell you what configuration we used. Was this the one you were thinking of?

Yep.....a piece of chalk in our pockets and a skate key (on a long shoe string)....remember those? around our neck. Set for a day of play.
Especially with the bag of marbles. Remember the coveted cat’s eye boulder and steelies? Those were prized marbles, in our group.
