chessChildren played ball games of all types. Britons also played cricket. Girls loved to play jacks, marbles, jump rope, play school and house, and played with dolls. The games the kids loved were neighborhood games like "Red, Light, Green, Light", "Red Rover", "Hide and Seek", "Statutes" and other games. They liked board games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Life, checkers, chess, backgammon, Chinese checkers, and dominoes. Cards was a really big hit. They liked Fish, Concentration, Crazy Eights, Hearts, and if old enough Canasta, Gin Rummy, solitaire, Slap Jack, War and 21. There were also games in water like Marco Polo, dive bomb and water ballet. Children played for hours because they did not have video games or television. They made up their own games too. Adults loved the board games and card games. The women would get together to play cards once a week. Men liked all the ball games, cribbage card came matches and gin rummy too. Men obviously liked to play poker games.
