In the countryside, as elsewhere in France at that time, children did not have expensive manufactured toys: They made their own amusement. A hoop that is pushed with a stick, a jumping rope drawn on the clay, a chalk-drawn shackle invited to run, jump and laugh under the sun of country afternoons. These traditional games — hide and seek, colin-maillard, Saute-Mouton or Marelle — appear in the sources as popular entertainment that required nothing more than the skill and imagination of the children themselves.
