Chicken vs Eagle, iron ring pushing, hopscotch, turned rope...These old games that brought great joy and happiness to the 1970s and 1980s generation are unknown to children nowadays, because their childhood is occupied by iPad, computers and smartphones. As the International Children's Day approaches, pupils in Zhuhe Road Elementary School in Handan, North China's Hebei Province, are playing these games to relive the memories of the parents.

Pupils play iron ring pushing at Zhuhe Road Elementary School in Handan, North China's Hebei Province, May 28, 2014. It is a child's game in which the player wields an iron stick to roll a large hoop along the ground and try his or her best to keep the hoop upright for long periods of time or to do various tricks.
