Forget today’s generation spending their summer holidays on iPads or in front of a DVD; 90s kids had the best summers – and here’s why:
1. Board Games to Keep Us Busy
The 1990s was a decade where board game ideas had yet to dry up, resulting in some hilarious escapades for those quieter days indoors.
2. Water Fights with Every Kid on the Street
Water fights brought communities of kids together in the perfect summer activity; nowadays, you’d be chastised for wasting too much water.
3. Watching H.O.T (Holidays On Two) in the Mornings
You could always start the weekday mornings off with a dollop of shows and cartoons on CBBC’s Holidays on Two (with the Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot song playing at the start)
4. Holding Garage Sales for Everyone on Your Estate
None of these profits were for charity.
5. Building a Den in the Garden on Sunny Days
6. Or if it’s Raining, Duvet Dens
7. Eating Sun Lollies (and Drinking the Juice at the Bottom)
The only way to cool down.
8. Reading the Dandy/Beano Summer Specials
Bumper-sized for super summer fun, no 6 week holiday was complete without the Dandy or the Beano’s specials.
9. Actual Sunny Weather
Maybe it’s global warming, maybe it’s bad luck: either way, the summers always seemed sunnier in the 90s.
