The idiosyncrasy of a country is measured by its culture and many other parameters. In this case, in each place the children play in the same or different way. In this case, it should be noted what are the traditional children’s games in France . To play!
And the neighboring country has a long tradition in such games that are passed from generation to generation, in addition to many new ones that have really emerged a few years ago.
Children’s games of France
Bilboquet
In every self-respecting children’s game, a ball always stands out, for this reason the bilboquet also has this utensil and also a cup. A thread is threaded through a ball and knotting the thread in a small hole in the bottom of the glass. This game dates from the 16th century but there are different variations. It consists of rotating various objects that have been tied to the cup.
The battle
It is one of the best known, and in this case, we are talking about a card table game. The cards are dealt and the one with the highest wins all the others. If the highest card has two or more players, they play another card in order to decide which one will win the cards back.
Petanque
It is also known in our country, so you surely know what it is about. And although it is played in childhood, adults also do it (and even hold championships).
Somewhat heavy balls are exposed on a sand surface to play with , and each player tries to throw the ball as close as possible towards the main ball. Precision is necessary to be able to approach the ball.
Bowling
Among the traditional children’s games in France are those of skill. We must specify that the word quilles in French means pegs. What does it consist of? In this case, there is also a ball, and it hits the balls and is tied to a rope in the branches of a tree, so that it is three or four inches from the ground.
Thus, the players take turns when catching the ball, moving away from the tree and letting the ball go, trying to knock down as many pins as possible.
As we can see, the ball or the cards are still preferred by the little ones because they really need to move and also develop their intellect, in the same way that happens in the most authentic and traditional games of many other countries.
