  Games we used to play = marbles, hide and seek, tag... great friends = memorable

I regard my time in elementary school as possibly the best stage ever in my life. Although it was some 20 years ago, I still remember details on how much fun school used to be.
Compared to middle school and later on university, primary school was a piece of cake! Teachers were kind and helpful and we didn't have much homework. The atmosphere was not like in high school where students compete. Everything seemed easy and smooth. We would play games, chase each other, learn a little too, but from what I remember, it was entertaining.
When you're a child, you don't need to worry about anything. I was definitely very naive, and that is probably why everything seemed so simple. I'll never forget how we used to play marbles, hide and seek or tag. We used to buy colorful cards, and bet with each other in order to win our classmates' cards. If we could flip 2 cards over (use your hands, body language!), we would win. Simple but memorable times!
I felt thrilled and it was a pleasure to attend school. Nowadays, primary school teachers are even better trained than before. I am sure that students have access to a lot of new activities to help open up their minds. This is what children really need in order to grow up smart and quick-witted (= sharp = intelligent).
