Two hundred years ago, rural American children played games that both amused them and gave them the necessary skills—agility, dexterity, teamwork, problem solving—they would need for adult life. Today’s historical reenactments, however, have largely ignored the activities of children in our nation’s past. At a historical commemoration in Plattsburgh, New York, we engaged children in playing several dozen games from the early 1800s. We researched the value of these games—some competitive, some involving groups, some solitary—for children of the period and present our findings, along with descriptions of the games themselves. Many may be familiar to older Americans but are rarely played now. Nevertheless, as we learned, today’s children can find pleasure in active, nonelectronic pursuits.
In 1800,children were expected to participate in the life of the family and contribute to it. Parents depended upon their children to carry out necessary jobs—caring for younger children, sitting with aged grandparents, helping with farm chores, preparing food, spinning and sewing. ...Children’s games and activities circa 1800 therefore often related to adult work.
Children of the 1800s were also expected to develop a sense of cooperation and fair play, share possessions with siblings and friends, help neighbors and friends who were sick...Learning to play with others was important as preparation for working with others...
The ability to amuse oneself while adults were busy was important, and for this purpose there were such pursuits as puzzles, hoop rolling, top spinning, and other solitary pleasures....
Many games were taught to children by their parents, grandparents, or others in the extended family. Some games were played by particular ethnic groups and handed down from generation to generation; others were regional, with each community practicing its own variations on games. The European settlers had learned some games from Native Americans and incorporated them into their own children’s games.
