Playing in the past

We went back in time this week as we looked at toys and games as far back as the ancient Egyptian period more than 4000 years ago before looking in depth at games and toys played with during the Tudor period 500 years ago. We tried out many Tudor games - many of which we recognised as they are still played and enjoyed today such as skipping, chasing hoops, leapfrog and hide and seek as well as learning some new ones like Mock Wedding and Odds and Evens. It was great fun and we didn't let the rain stop us from enjoying the games!
