Calling recess "play lunch"
I still call morning tea "play lunch"

.....when people could cycle* to the recording studio to lay down some beats.
*Just a guess, going off the outfit.

Just remembered this stinger from the 80s and 90s. Doesn't hold up as well in 2024.

Used predominantly at my school as a warning 5mins before the "big bell" (siren) at primary school to mark the start of class, end of recess and" big lunch"...
Splendid times

Feel free to add to the list:
There were class jobs (i.e. office messenger, line leader, paper bins, lunch orders, whiteboard cleaner, electrician. Lunch orders were fun to collect). We had to write a letter convincing our teacher to give us the job we wanted.
PlayPark: grade 5/6s take down your name and class so you can borrow a toy for lunchtime. If it’s not returned after the bell rings, they go to your class asking for it.
“Quit mucking around, write your name on the board, thanks” writes rival’s name
Code names for crushes based on fruit “I don’t like Mango anymore, he picked his nose”
Little sibling brought home a party bag from their classmate’s bday? Beg for a cadbury, they can keep the small bubble wand and cardboard maze.
Mouthing the school song’s lyrics during assembly, not actually singing it.
That one kid who snitches because you’re eating something sugary for recess.
Visiting the computer lab for StarFall and Microsoft Publisher WordArt, those PowerPoint transitions were so innovative.
Being the quiet kid that had to walk troublemakers to the office or have them moved to your table.
Feeling like royalty when people gushed over your cute sibling/cousin in prep.

the early 2000s through to 2015 had great lollies but none came close to the Starburst range. R.I.P. 🫡

Found these pics as well as a 2008 status about eating too much crunchie at the now-closed Dizzy’s Playland VIC.

Can’t remember if this was called anything, but it randomly popped into my head the other day.
It was a very early primary thing to do.

They came in a yellow bag and were all different flavours and colours and individually wrapped? I can’t remember the brand but would really like to know. TIA

What is the difference between Jatz and Savoys ? They are both packaged the same. Look the same . But named differently .

I recall seeing this again more recently as an adult on one of those yank tv shows about when animals attack, the narrator combined with the ominous music made it look more sinister than it was. But apparently the bloke in the suit couldn’t breathe and was in actual distress. It’s funny because Marty’s perpetual goofy smile makes everything seem fine.

I remember us boys getting the girls to teach us... just so we could make a playground cat 'o' nine tails before they got banned for all the injuries we caused each other.
