What game did they play on the Mayflower?

See the list below.

What game did they play on the Mayflower?
What kind of games did Pilgrim kids play? Did they play any games that kids today do? Did they do chores?


Pilgrim children played lots of games. They played a version of marbles called knickers (you can see two girls playing knickers in the book Sarah Morton's Day), dolls, make-believe, a game like soccer with anything that would roll. They also fished and climbed trees and built forts. Pilgrim children were like children today - they could make up fun things to do with the things they had around them.
