In those days it was Skip-A-Cross -- now it's Scrabble. Some of the other games we played included Uncle Wiggily, Parcheesi, Chinese Checkers, and Monopoly. I hated Monopoly then, and I still refuse to play it with any grandkids that ask. I guess my brothers always got the best of me in that one.
skip across? never heard of this. same idea as scrabble i take it? i don't like monopoly now but i did then. now they have monopoly deal where you use cards and everyone that comes to visit plays it cuz Steve is always game for it.
