Do you remember playing jacks when you were little? I loved that game so much. I have even purchased some in my adult years to play when the kids and grandkids have been little. I bet my first set must have looked like this because we bought stuff like that at McCroy's Five & Dime.
Jacks is one game I perfected and was really, really good at. I remember when they started making them in silver and gold.
They even made them in color for awhile.
I remember using a bouncy ball one time to play them because it would go higher. My and my sister were at our girlfriends house and we were playing jacks in their kitchen on a cold day. Her mom said to be careful and not break anything. Don't worry, we didn't break anything. Our ball just went so high that it bounced into Helen's pot of soup she had simmering on the stove. She was not very happy with us. Such wonderful memories. My granddaughter Shelby bought some a couple of year back and brought them over for us to play. And I am proud to say that I can still go all the way through my tensies without missing a turn. Now I want to go get some jacks.
