We must not have locked our door because I don't remember ever needing a key. What we did depended on the weather and our ages, in elementary school I can remember climbing trees, playing with the dog, being led astray by older brother into jumping off the shed (ok) and house (hurt a lot). In middle school I remember being at a neighbor kid's house and we were wearing 'run proof' hosiery and we shredded them trying to get them to run.
Also remember with a couple friends climbing into someone else's tree house to experiment with smoking cigarettes but then the boys whose tree house it was showed up and they yelled at us, which (probably because I had an older brother) didn't scare me but my friend was so scared she jumped out of the tree house and broke her arm.
Sometimes we walked along the train tracks, played with little snakes that the neighbor boys had, etc.
We spent time at the local strip mall doing things like buying a piece or candy, or an ice cream, or playing the nickel games -- I only remember the one that had a little gun to shoot at little targets (bad guys I think) at the bowling alley.
Considered dropping little rocks on cars driving below a bridge but luckily for all a police car drove by and used their loudspeaker to yell at us to get off the bridge.
In early High School I would mostly go for long walks but it was kind of a pain because the police stopped me so often to run my name through the runaway database (or whatever they had back in the late 60's). Later in High School I just spent time at friends' houses.
Oh and sex.
