What did medieval children play?

Answer 1

One very popular game was buzz-bones. This was a length of cord threaded through holes in an object (originally a small piece of bone such as the metacarpal or metatarsal of a pig, later disks of lead or pewter with serrated edges, like cog wheels). The cord formed a loop which could be pulled by both hands, spinning the bone or disk which made a rhythmic humming sound. Such objects have been found in Late Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval contexts.

Boys would play with small bows and arrows, play various ball games, or they enjoyed mock jousting using plantain flower spikes for spears - the boy whose flowers were knocked away lost the game.

Girls had dolls, danced and made garlands of wild flowers which they would wear as crowns.
