Glasses made of straw, did you wear them when you were a child!
Various trinkets made from discarded drip tubes.
This we call "big mud" there mouth down and fall the ground, whoever falls the big hole wins, and the losing side has to use the big mud to fill the gap for the other party.
Matchguns, which are only played by boys, made of eight-gauge wire and bicycle links, have now become "contraband".
Smash the bottle cap, this girl plays more, when she was a child, she picked up the bottle cap everywhere, and then smashed it flat with a hammer, when playing, she still got up and caught it with the back of her hand, and then grabbed one that didn't catch, and quickly caught the bottle cap on the back of the hand in turn with the palm of her hand, and if she caught the back of the hand, she won, and so on.
This is also played by boys, we call it "fan pia ji (pronounced four tones)", and one side flips the other side of the "piaji" fan to win. At that time, most of the boys' books were used to fold "piaji" haha.
Willow whistle, at the beginning of spring, the willow tree grows new branches, generally break off a section of chopstick-thick branches, twist hard, the bark and branches will separate, and then pull out the branches and throw them, the undamaged bark cut a small section, scrape off the layer of green skin on the surface, blow it particularly loudly.
This is called "buzz worm" only available on elm trees, after catching it, use a piece of straw skin to insert it in the hard shell behind its head, and then pinch its legs hard, it will spread its wings and fly hard, making a "buzzing" sound, and you can also insert a few "buzz insects" on the small "bamboo raft" made of straw Yang A few buzz insects fly together and drift away like a "speedboat".
You can also string the straw yang with thin branches, and then insert the buzz worm on the straw yang, and the buzz worm will quickly turn up as soon as it flies, like a small fan. This buzz must be male, the male is large, and the hard shell on the back has black and white spots, which is easy to identify, and later learned that its name is "White Star Flower Golden Turtle".
These are all things that I played when I was a child in the 70s, and the things I played in the countryside in that era were basically "local materials", and who remembers the things I played when I was a child!
