Did you play marbles when at the school playground when you were a kid?

[humanearth]

I used to play before school started, during recess and we always played for "Keepsies"

I still have my bag of marbles from when I was a kid

In grade school, some of the kids played marbles, but the game never interested me. I never saw it played by anyone in junior high or high school.

Nah, never really played it, never learned the rules. Had a bunch of marbles though. I loved collecting them cause they were pretty

[dustybiker]

It was more something I would have played at home, I think.

[Andres77]

Never played marbles.
I remember reading the comics of Dennis the Menace and how he played marbles.
Just the idea of that sweet innocence is still bubbling to the surface in your mind is comforting.

[UniquelyBasic]

I was the best in my school and my group of friends. No one could beat me. I would keep winning their marbles.

[exitseven]

Yes, all the boys played marbles. I had a ton of them. I do not know where they ended up.

[ImDusty]

I'm young and we only did it a couple times. Definitely not as popular anymore

[NathanDavis]

some kids would play this yes... but I would be on the fields playing soccer instead

[XXblack88]

Nope I had marbles as a kid but never learned how to play marbles

[TacosRAwesome]

Wasn't really done at school but grandma tried teaching me.

[Illyrian]

Yes i did but my school banned marbles because kids would target eachother and there was one incident which one kid throw a marble at another kid's head.

[TallAnon]

We had them, but never found the purpose of them besides "pretty stones"

[DaveToo]

Not at school but after.

[LavLavLuv]
