As relatively newly weds (married about 2 years) we got stationed in Southern California. We noticed the kids on the block sort of “hanging around.” They said they had nothing to do. So we attempted to teach them how to play stickball. Their first question was, Where to you plug it in? This was the early 70s.
Things were simpler then. A 25 cent rubber ball and a discarded mop handle could keep a whole gang of boys busy all day and a re-purposed section of clothes line kept the girls busy as they jumped and chanted. Good exercise all around.
