Play in the 18th Century Children's Lawn Games

  • Woodville Plantation (map)

Bring the whole family and experience children's games of the 18th century.

Games for children have not always come with a board or electronic bells and whistles. Colonial American boys and girls most often played games outdoors. Brothers and sisters played together at some games, but not all, since it was not deemed ladv-like for girls to engage in dirtier past-times. In the 1700s, children played games that required skill, chance, dexterity, and a competitive spirit, much the same as children do today.

Your children will learn how to play, Cup and Ball, Hoop Rolling, Quoit, Games of Graces. Teetotum and Stool Ball, it will be fun for kids of all ages.
