The Victorians

Hoop and Stick

In this game, a hoop is rolled, or "trundled," with the help of a stick. The object of the game is to keep the hoop rolling by running alongside.

Children sometimes had hoop-rolling races!

Skipping

Victorian girls played with skipping ropes. Poorer children just had odd bits of rope with no handles.

Marbles

‘Knuckle Down’- This term is from marbles, where the knuckle has to be placed down on the ground when playing.
