Entertainment in The Medieval Ages

            Games and activities in the middle ages were some what like ours and some what not. The games varied from many different types like involving animals and toys. In the ones involving animals it involves things that would be consider cruel now a days where a hunting dog would try to bite a bear held by a bear carer and if the bear yelped then it wold be a good hunting dog. The ones involving toys are games like marbles where a kid will flick marbles and try to other marbles and knock them out of the circle and guards would play games that were like card games now a days but the stakes could involve losing money or losing your suit of army.
            The children of the middle ages enjoyed games like where you had a metal circle wheel that could spin around while you had little stick to put in the middle of the circle and it will push the circle a bit and if you get good at doing it than you could make it jump and catch it and do tricks with it. A sport like game in the medieval ages was jousting and after warfare they would have a huge jousting game where knights would carry long lances and ride horses at each other very quickly and hit each other the one still on their horses won.
