Playing is one of the best things in life, don't you think? There are so many fun toys and so many games to invent that we would like our childhood to be very long. Playing, we learn things. For example, playing we learn to play! Have you ever invented a game?
When toys such as balls, dolls and carts are not available, children always find a way to play. They make up games or teach their friends a game they know. Many games are passed from generation to generation, and it is not known who invented them. Have you ever thought about the toys and games of Greek and Roman children who lived around 2000 years ago?
Not unlike those of our grandparents, as many toys had already been invented back then. That's right: the ball, the doll, the pull cart, the yo-yo, the top, the bow or hula hoop as we call it.
Most children today are unaware of simple entertainment like blind goat, ringworm, carrion, follow-the-master, scorch-whip, cordless phone, and hundreds of other pranks handed down orally for centuries by successive generations. The songs and phrases, for example, that accompanied the jumping rope or the roda were greatly reduced in children's memory.
In fact, this only shows that games are transformed, some lose their meaning due to new ones. technologies, but many still deserve to be rescued, as they will certainly captivate the interest of future generations. In a time of computers and video games, there is little room left to play tag, hopscotch, hide and seek, flag saver… But there are people in the world concerned about rescuing these traditional games so that they don't just stay in the story.
