Nice question
I liked making Airfix models.
BB guns and air guns were fun as well. I liked shooting.
Also games consoles/the computer.
I also used to like making stuff out of household materials, “craft” I think it’s called?
My favourite board game was Monopoly! -
Some good ones there @66Mustang

My favourite toy when very young was a metal rocking horse called peter. I called everything peter except for Fred my guinea pig.
I too liked airfix models and the soldiers, I bought a lot of them and had wars all over the place. Furniture made great cliff tops.
I never liked board games except for chess, but I didn’t play that much.
I also liked using the empty washing up liquid liquid bottles for a submarine at bath time or a space rocket, or as a fire engine much to the annoyance of bees I’m ashamed to say. Great fun. I enjoyed making various animals out of acorns and matchsticks too. Oh yes, cardboard boxes made great knights helmets, me and a friend or two would often be seen bashing each other with small sticks playing knights in armour, probably no the brightest thing to do...ouch!
last but not least I really enjoyed climbing trees. Oaks or fruit trees in the summer ...yum!“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

Mouse Trap is a fantastic one, used to love that.
We used to play things like Kerplunk, Connect 4 and Marble Run, as well as the classics like Monopoly and Cludo.
I also used to play with the toys from Toy Story, particularly Woody and Buzz.
I used to love trains as well when I was a child so there was a lot of Thomas the Tank Engine stuff too, I used to build my own tracks and run the toy trains on them.
