Traditional Toys and Games program description:

The majority of the artifacts recovered in archaeological excavations tell us about what people ate and how they obtained it. Some less common artifacts, however, are clues to the other dimensions of people’s lives, such as entertainment. We know that men, women, and children have always enjoyed the challenge and fun of playing games. Learn about some traditional toys and games, and even try some out.
