Fun games from when we were young!

It's such fun to have children old enough to play games. We've recently been playing a lot of 'Guess Who?' — it used to be one of my favourites! We also have been playing 'Operation', that silly game where you have to put the bones in the right place and not touch the sides (or else the horrible sound will buzz and the guy's nose will turn red!). Do you remember these fun games from when we were young?

Another game I re-discovered is Pim Pam Pet, an old Dutch game which I'm not sure exists in English? Also, my kids are still too young, but do you remember Scotland Yard? Or what about Twister? That was such a cool game, I spent many laughters in some sort of strange knot on that mat. And have you been playing Monopoly with your kids yet? I haven't, but I think they are probably old enough. Sadly, in my opinion, the new editions don't look as cool as they did in the eighties... I also must admit, that Monopoly really wasn't a favourite of mine. I'm just not interested enough in making money, it seems.

Tell me -- which were your favourite fun games from when we were young?xxx Esther
