A few more weeks of vacation and the kids want to be kept busy! If you've run out of the latest museums and the usual excursion destinations and the outdoor pools are too full, it's time for something new. Or rather: old. We have dug up some simple children's games from the old days for you to show your children. 

Perhaps you still remember "rubber skipping", "cops and robbers" or "cat and mouse"? These are children's games without a lot of frills, without a lot of effort, without a lot of accessories, which have already provided a lot of fun for you, your parents and grandparents. Most of the games are designed for several children, but finger games, rhyming games and song games, for example, can also be played by just two people or alone.

We have done some research into what was available "back then" and have put together a short summary for you. And who knows, maybe one or two of these ideas will not only be great fun for your kids, but also for you?
