SC-S29/W1- Nostalgia Of The Liitle Me : Games we used to play (Playing with paper airplanes and boats)
Steemian Friends,
Today I will participate in a challenge by @sohanurrahman's brother in week 01 of Steemit challenge 29. The name of the challenge is SC-S29/W1- Nostalgia Of The Little Me: Games we used to play. I hope everyone will like my writing.
Name of the childhood game(s)
I used to play with my friends by making paper airplanes and boats. I have many memories of making paper boats and airplanes when I was little. I made my friends make paper boats and airplanes. I used to make airplanes and boats from paper from my old books or notebooks.

Where and with whom you used to play
When I was a child, I used to play with my friends by making paper airplanes and boats. I would fly the paper airplanes in the yard or school field and run after them. Three or four friends would fly the airplanes into the sky and compete to see how high the airplane flew. We would have fun as long as the paper airplanes flew in the sky. The airplanes made of colored paper were especially beautiful to look at.

I would make a boat out of paper and launch it into the pond. I would launch the paper boat into the water and create waves with my hands, and the boat would go into the middle of the pond. Three or four friends would launch the paper boat into the water at the same time, and we would have a competition to see whose boat would go the farthest. I had a lot of fun launching paper boats into the water with my friends when I was little.

Why this game was special to you
Making crafts with paper was a lot of fun. When I was young, I loved planting trees or making different kinds of crafts with paper. In between studies, I used to make airplanes with old books or notebooks and fly them in the yard. Many of my friends and cousins used to request that I make airplanes with paper. I made my son and daughter make airplanes or boats with paper a few days ago. Nowadays, children can learn how to make airplanes or boats with paper by watching YouTube. But in our time, there was no YouTube, so we used to enjoy making boats or airplanes with our talent.

Any funny, emotional, or memorable incident related to the game
I remember two memorable incidents from my childhood about making paper boats and airplanes. One day, my cousin drowned while trying to launch a paper boat into a pond near our house. I saw him from a distance and screamed, but I didn't know how to swim. Hearing my screams, an uncle in the house ran and jumped into the water and rescued my cousin. After that, I never launched a paper boat into a pond. At home, I used to put water in a bucket and launch the paper boat.
One day, my cousin had a big accident while flying a paper airplane. While flying the paper airplane, my cousin was looking at the airplane and hit a bamboo pole. My cousin's cheek was cut, and blood was coming out. My cousin is now grown up, but the cut on her cheek is still there.
Life lessons or values learned from playing those games
Children develop their intelligence by making paper boats or airplanes at a young age. Making paper airplanes or boats was not easy for children. Making paper airplanes or boats was a creative activity for a child. I used to get great pleasure from making beautiful boats or airplanes out of paper. Later, I made rose flowers out of paper. I think every child will still get great pleasure from making paper airplanes or boats.

Greetings,
Thank you so much for participating in the contest.
I also used to make paper airplanes when I was a child. You beautifully mentioned that even without YouTube back then, we learned to make paper planes by watching and learning from one another. Your presentation was excellent and truly nostalgic.
