When we were children we had lots of time to play. It was a daily occurrence and not something that was made a big deal of, we just played all the time! I remember playing outside with my cousins and staying up late into the night during holidays and cheating at monopoly. Children cycling or playing cricket was something common that you saw on weekday evening and during holidays. Holiday was not a time to touch a single school book! Most of my childhood memories are of playing with something or the other, either alone or with someone.
