[Graybeard58]

In grade school in the late 1950’s we played mumbley peg at recess. Most of the boys had a knife in their pocket at school.

That game plus Marbles were all the rage at my school in the early 50s. With marbles, you dare not let your parents know that you were playing "for keeps" because that was "gambling".

We used to play a game (the name escapes me) where you tossed pocket change against the wall and whoever was the closest, got to keep the money. I lost my lunch money on several occasions.
