Building rafts with neighbourhood buddies outta whatever scraps you could find down at the local river and floatin' around for hours each day during summer vacation.
Or fighting in the backseat at the drive-in with your younger sibling to see who got to 'sit in the middle' to watch the movie. Remember the cartoon dancing hotdog and popcorn at intermission...or the slides and swings just below the movie screen?
Potato guns.
Meccano. Ker-Plunk. K-Tel records or 45's you always lost the little yellow centrepiece for. Remember glass marbles in the little leather pouch, and how the clear gold ones were the most coveted?
Transistor radios with telescoping chrome antennas that picked up one, maybe two static-filled stations very faintly (if you were lucky).
When was the last time you heard a kid go down the street with hockey cards clothespinned to the spokes of his bike?
