Answer 1

They usually would play with balls, or see saws. The boys sometimes played with wooden swords.

Some Roman kids also use to play Knuckles (its like jacks) which they watched adults play.

Answer 2

Roman children played with hoops with pieces of metals on them, like bells, to jingle and warn people in their way, kites and hobbyhorses. They played board games. They made tiny models of people and animals. They played tic-tac-toe, and a game called "knucklebones", which was a lot like jacks, only played with bones. Boys walked on stilts, played ball games and with bats. Girls played with rag and wax dolls.

Roman children also played with pets. Dogs were common and the favourite pets. Many kinds of birds were pets including pigeons, ducks, quail, and geese. Cats started to become pets around 1 century AD. Monkeys were also pets, but they were rare.
