During the medieval period, children played games of chase and competition, games depicting elders and heroes, games reflecting vivid imaginations, and games of war. Children’s observation of and participation at adult festivals, athletic events, and musical and dramatic productions or public plays are historic sources that influence and provide substance for play. No historic age or culture appears to have been devoid of children singing simple songs and rhymes and making crude musical instruments.
