admire, as we live in a world where people use harsh methods to push their 
ideals on others. 
  
42/ Describe a game you played in your childhood 
You should say: 
- What the game was 
- When you played it 
- Who you played it with 
- How you felt about the game 
I’m going to tell you about a hand game (a game like Mary Mack, etc.) I used 
to play with my sister and friends. It was called “Concentration 64”. At the time 
it seemed like so much fun, but now seems silly when I think about it. Anyway, 
let me tell you how we used to play it. 
The game started with a chant (song) along with claps that went 
“Concentration 64, no repeats or hesitations, I’ll start, you’ll finish, the category 
is _______” then the person leading the game would choose a category, usually 
consisting of colors, animals, foods, etc. The two people had to name 64 things 
under that category. If one repeated or hesitated, they were automatically out.

We started playing in in elementary school during recess, so between the ages 
of 6 and 10, so from the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. I remember my sister and I 
especially playing it on the way home from school, since it was about a 45 
minute drive there and back everyday. It was a good way to pass the time! 
I used to really enjoy this game at that time. I was really into other hand games 
at the time as well, like Mary Mack for example, so they were kind of my thing 
(something I really liked) in general. I would usually beat (win) my sister and 
friends at it, so maybe that adds to why I used to like it so much. I thought it was 
an interesting way to generate competition, not to mention I found it thrilling to 
think of all the words I could think of under the chosen category. All in all, it was 
a fun way to pass the time and boost (improve) my confidence.
