During ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,

they came up with interesting games to play.

★Stone balls

During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it

was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along

with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in

Beijing.

★Flying kites

Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four

most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive

features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.

★Hide-and-seek

Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play:

covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and

one child must try to find them.

★Playing diabolos

A diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the

diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an

interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of

national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).
