In the colonies days Toys and games

In colonies days they didn’t have computers or Nintendo's segas. But they played games anyhow. They played games like hide and seek. That was one of the favorite games of kids in the colonial times. They played it pretty much like we play hide and seek in It’s still fun to play.

They didn’t have electronic game in those days and they didn’t have remote control toys. They could play jump rope though. And they could play marbles. Sometimes they even took an old hoop and tried to roll it with a stick. That might be fun to try to do.

Another thing they did for fun was bobbing for apples. They filled a big tub with water and put apples in it. The apples floated. Then you had to put your face down in there and try to get an apple. It’s fun but you might get really wet!

I guess you wouldn’t want to live in the Colonial days in Maryland because they didn’t have television and videos and telephones and movies. But they still knew how to have some fun!

In the colonial days everyone was very busy, but there was still time for games and recreation. Children would play games to help them with skills like running, jumping and throwing. All of there games were made from things they hade because many children in a family, so the boys and girls always had lots of playmates.
