What did children do for fun in 1860?

In 1860, children engaged in a variety of outdoor activities for fun, such as playing games like tag, marbles, and hopscotch. They often participated in sports like baseball and swimming, while also enjoying simpler pastimes like riding bicycles or playing with homemade toys.

Additionally, reading and storytelling were popular entertainment options, particularly in families with access to books.


What did people do for leisure in Colonial America?

Children did not have Nintendo, TV, or many books to read, so they often created their own games. They spent so much time in the schoolroom and doing chores that outdoor games were most appealing to them. One popular outdoor game was rolling the hoop. Taking a big wooden hoop, the children would race each other from one point to another on the lawn. The object of the game was to see who could get to the finishing point fastest. It sounds like an easy game, but the hoop was difficult to roll. Another fun game was nine pins, which is similar to bowling. Nine pins would be placed three in a row on the lawn and th eobject was to knock down all nine pins with a ball. The slope of the lawn made the game tricky. Children had sack races and played tag, quoits, marbles, hopscotch, leapfrog, and Blindman?s Buff. They flew kites and went fishing and swimming. Even simple activities like swinging or taking a walk were enjoyed if they had friend to accompany them. If the weather was bad, children often played with simple wooden toys like spinning tops and whirligigs, read, and embroidered samplers.
