The Ancient Times
News about the past
Ancient Greek Toys
Kids in ancient Greece liked to paint and sculpt, little ones liked to play with rattles and dolls others liked to play with kites and yoyo's some even went fishing. There were many toys some we still have today. Right now there are hundreds of kids with the same exact toys there were, back in ancient times, even though they are upgraded. Without the invention of them we wouldn't have them right now.
Ancient Greek Sports
There were some athletics that boys could do to keep fit and prepare them for war as soldiers. They ran, jumped, wrestled, and practiced throwing a spear and discus. They trained in a gymnasium.
Ancient Greek Education
Greek laws stated that parents had to educate their children, whom were poor, but if you were rich and had great wealth there were private schools for young boys, who could afford them. They were a lot money, for back in ancient times, so not very many young boys went to these schools.
Conclusion
There were many different things that children did back in Ancient Greece then today, but also there were some of the same things. The toys they had we all still might use today, they're just updated. In sports we have wrestling, they probably have different rules but its the same idea. Education is a big part in our life style today with out it we wouldn't have jobs to make money to have a home and food and a family, so without all the past we might not have even been here right now or in the future.
