ANSWER:

As for men and teen boys in the colonies, they had such things as foot races, shooting, or wrestling contests. Card games were mostly played by the men as well.

The colonial women would have quilting bees, and everyone enjoyed spelling bees.

Colonial children played many games that are still popular, including hopscotch, leapfrog, London Bridge, hide and seek, and blind man's bluff. Colonial toys included balls, dolls, marbles, kites, tops, rolling hoops, and jump ropes.

Hopscotch, leapfrog, game of graces. Kids were expected to work after the age of 7, so they didn't play much.
