20 Things Kids Did in the 1970s That Are Gone Today!

Описание: 20 Things Kids Did in the 1970s That Are Gone Today! #1960s #1970s #1980s
Growing up in the 1970s was a completely different experience from childhood today. Kids had more freedom, fewer rules, and plenty of adventures—often without adults hovering nearby. From riding bikes without helmets until sunset to drinking straight from the garden hose, the ’70s were a time of exploration and independence.
In this video, we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to the days of unsupervised play, Saturday morning cartoons, and making prank calls on rotary phones. Remember when kids built ramps for their bikes without a second thought about safety? Or when a trip to the arcade was the highlight of the week? These experiences defined childhood in the ’70s but have since disappeared.
Join us as we relive 20 things that every kid in the 1970s did—things that would be nearly impossible (or even illegal) today! Which of these do you miss the most?
