Drive past a bus stop sometime and you'll see all of the kids with their faces buried in their phones, even the 3rd graders.
Do kids these days play kick the can or other dumb games We used to play them at the bus stop everyday
In my neighborhood, kids (middle school) play ball while waiting. Nobody sends younger kids (elementary) to the bus stop alone anymore. The parents are all waiting with the kids and I think it ruins the fun.
