[Ansteorra] MOC requests at BAM

Indeed there was, and it was very good.
However, it perhaps covered about 10% of possible games.

There was a recent Compleat Anachronist that was devoted to period games for 
children.

I had a few MOC come into the Game Pavilion requesting information on suitable, 
or different, period games for children. Whilst this isn't specifically my area 
I have obviously come across much information during the course of my research. 
Therefore, I'm thinking of creating a small booklet/handout if there is enough 
demand. Otherwise I'm happy to give individual answers.> > Many medieval adult 
active 'games'?could be reclassified for children. I cannot see the fighters 
having a competition to see who can hop on one leg the longest while in armor, 
but this manly period pastime can easily be adapted into a children's game which 
would tire?youngsters out a little in preparation for quieter activities.> > 
Another example is bubble catching. The idea is
  one person blows the bubbles; the others try to catch one on?their pillows and 
safely carry it back to the 'blower' where if successful they receive a prize, 
(or perhaps a kiss if played by adults as was done in period).> > Let me know.>
