Like play games (like war or something), roam around, make fires, have "gangs", play other pretend stuff (basically role playing but without any real rules ) - ask your parents and grandparents what they were up to when they were kids.

Yes, more a country side thing, you go to a secluded spot and make a fire.

This is a privilege a lot of city kids don't have
No to fires lmao wtf
They only did that stuff because there was literally nothing else to do. Not because it was more fun.
