...BALL GAMES
OF EGYPT...
- Balls were made in many different ways. The outside layer was made of cloth, leather, of papyrus. The inside was made up of barley husk, straw, grass, rags, reeds, or horsehair.
- With 3 balls, the girls like to juggle. The best jugglers could juggle with their arms crossed. Juggling also included throwing and catching while clapping between each throw.
- Boy games were a lot rougher. Boys games included throwing a wooden ball then jumping and crashing down to catch it, also arm-wrestling, and leap frog. Tug-of-war was a popular game for boys.
- Older boys did sports like wrestling fighting,target shooting with bows and arrows and QUARTERSTAFF {{a game played with long stick, the purpose of the game is to poke your opponent first}}
- Most games were played by two, or only a few players.
HOW IS YOUR LIFE IN YOUR TOPIC SIMILAR TO TODAY?????
to me life is not the same today as it was back then. first, because girls can play sports with boys. second, people of today don't try to hurt anyone while playing a sport. third, today's balls are made so much better materials. last, i wouldn't want to play any of the games from back then.
