The 60s Toys And Games

Many of us baby boomers have grandchildren already, hard to believe isn't it?  I get questions all the time and find that my older grandchildren are interested in the days I grew up.  It is very difficult sometimes to try and explain what we did for recreation, the toys we played with, the TV we watched (sure a difference in TV and music compared to today.)  They can't seem to grasp that a grandparent was once a child.

They know its true they just think it was so long ago.  I remember hearing stories from my grandparents about the depression and so forth and I thought man that was so long ago and actually it was just 30 years before I had that discussion that the depression had become part of our history and now its been 40 some years since the 60s. Enjoy this page as we step back into history with the toys of the 1960s and the games of the 1960s. Most of these games were played with others in a social setting actually interacting with family and friends.

Todays youth may be ahead of most of us with their computer training and skills but I still think it's better to play a game with an actual person than an avatar.
