Boys where encouraged to play fighting games like wrestling. Some popular games used dice or counters and were similar to backgammon or checkers. Other games in the middle ages were blind man’s bluff, bowling, horse play, and prisoner’s base. That is some of the games in medieval life.
Knights trained by running foot races and gymnastics events. Young children made sandcastles and played with marbles tops and games using hoops. Young hawks were trained in a sport called hunting. That is a lot of games from the middle ages.
