 Over 100 years ago, children played with lots of different things, including concurs. One game was called Stampsys. If someone's conquered, dropped off the string, you could stamp on it and squash it. Marbles have been popular for over 50 years. Children used to sit in a circle and try to knock each other's marbles out of the circle. Children like playing with natural things like stones and twigs in our school. We build nests with the grass.
