In school we did schoolwork. During lunch we’d play on the playground.
On the bus I’d talk to my friends or if they weren’t there I’d just sit silently
While walking I talked to my friend or walked home alone.
Back then no one really talked to each other outside of school and social media (yahoo, facebook, Snapchat) unless you were close friends. At least in my experience.
If you did hang out, it was usually video games if it was guys. Maybe sports if you’re into that. But coed groups it was mostly being outside or at the mall
I didn’t work
When I was with my cousins we’d play with legos, make guns out of the big legos and play soldier, play tag and hide and seek or board games. Sometimes sleep over.
I would say things were more social back then even if you weren’t really doing anything together like talking on Facebook. I haven’t been back to any elementary or high schools so I can’t tell you if everyone is sitting in the cafeteria on their phone or what.
I had a CD player so I could listen to music while on the bus or walking. In school we talked to friends, played card games (usually with a standard deck of cards, although sometimes someone would have an Uno deck) read books (well, I did this, and a few others did, but most people did not read books during free time at school), or, when possible, used a computer to surf online.
They came out fresh every day, and were a quarter. And the best part was, after someone was finished with it, someone else could read that same newspaper. And afterwards, you could use it to wrap fish or line the bottom of a birdcage.

Recalling all the times my parents screamed at me I was wasting my time with video games, then they'd go watch football on TV for 4 hours.

Talk or listen to our walkman/discman/ipod. Play Gameboy. Read books.
For a brief period of time between flip phones and the iPhone we would share meme photos and porn on the ipod color
A lot of the time you just did nothing. There was more ambient boredom that you just had to deal with.

Newspapers.
