Children’s Games in Ancient China

During ancient times, children didn’t have much to enjoy themselves. However, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood.

Kicking stone balls

During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm.

Playing hid-and-seek

Hid-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run to tease(戏弄) him or, more normally, others hide and one child must try to find them.

Flying kites

Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own feature. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings of the Beijing kite.
