It was all part of the fun you had at the August play schemes which seemed to be a huge hit in these photos.
We have got archive photos from Farringdon, Carley Hill, Pallion, Ford and Hylton.
We have got them from play schemes in Red House and Castletown. The one common denominator is all these scenes were from the 1970s.
Take a look and see who you can recognise.
