Pioneer Games - part 2

(Scroll down to see another post about this special event)

Pam came and visited the third grade classes this week to teach the kids about what pioneer children did for entertainment.  We have had a lot of interesting discussions about specific rules expected of children in the 1800's like "children should be seen and not heard" and girls of 8 should not play hop-scotch because it is not "lady-like".  Pam also shared some items you would find in a pioneer home.

The Hoop Game

Some of the games the kids played were Blind Man's Bluff, Poor Doggie, The Hoop Game and Knuckle Bones.
