Games

If you were a kid and you wanted to play a game, you wouldn't have played videogames in the Middle Ages! You would be playing games like chess, dice, knucklebones, marbles, checkers, and blind man's bluff.  

Knucklebones: Knucklebones are dried sheep ankle bones. They have 4 different sides-one flat, one concave (hollow like an empty bowl), one convex (curving out like a ball), and one side that curves in and out. Knucklebones are played like jacks except you play with sheep bones.

Blind man's bluff: Blind man's bluff is played with several people in a circle. One kid would be in the middle, say you. You would have a handkerchief (or a scarf) tied over your eyes. You would be spun around in a circle many times then you would try to tag a person in the circle.

You know the rest of the games!
