Hand-stands, anyone remember doing that? We had competitions to see who could stay on our hands, feet against the wall, for the longest time

Then when you stood up properly you went all light-headed!

I don't know if you'd call it a "game", but i do remember building go-karts oe "bogeys" with my brother and sister and assorted local kids.
We once build a rather palatial one, having accquired a proper car seat from and old vehicle my uncle was rebuilding.
The trouble with these things was the brake system - they generally didn't have one!
I remember we built one that was so big we wore ourselves out trying to get the thing moving - and we'd spent a good part of the summer holidays planning and building the darn thing! Still, it kept us off the streets i suppose.
Andy why do I recall that the summer holidays were one long, sunny experience in those days - we hardly ever had a rainy day, in fact I can't remember what we did on those occasions without daytime TV and screen games!

Talking of hand stands, 
I have a photograph of my 2 daughters and niece,
ages 9/11/12.
All doing a hand stand.
When they all met up last year,
they had a bet who could still do them.
I have a picture of them in the same position, niece in the middle, 
they are in their late 30's 40 now. 
Still they did it, gave me such a laugh. 
Memories eh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brothers used to make their go-karts out of old
orange boxes,their brakes never worked either.
True about the long summer days,
played out for hours.
