What games did Tudor children play?

Answer 1

well the children entertained themselves by doind dances and going to school and learning new things and able to learn that and that is how they can entertain themselves.

Children in Tudor times did not go to school. There were no schools for common children, and the children of lordly households were taught by their parents or by the adults in households where children might be sent to learn the ways of families higher on the social scale than theirs (they were put out as servants), but the lessons were very different than now; children were expected to further the political and social agendas of their families or the families where their parents sent them, to fulfill the tasks that were assigned to them inside and outside their own households or in the households where they lived, to observe their parents' or their foster parents' behaviors and actions and to do what their parents or foster parents told them to do, without question. Children's lives were far less involved in play now then in survival. Life was very hard, and usually very short.

Common children did more or less the same, but their tasks were to help their modest households survive by working in the family business or working in the family kitchen, milking the family cow, taking the cow to the fields for its daily ration of grass and bringing her back home so that she wouldn't be stolen, caring for whatever other lifestock was owned by the family, helping to till and seed the fields, carrying water, wood, or whatever needed to be gathered or moved, gathering food, preparing food, maintaining the fire, helping with the brewing of beer or ale, and whatever else needed to be done. There probably was little time for play, and few toys. Life was hard and short, and the mentality was about survival not enjoyment. Few living now could imagine such an existence.
