Hiya,
For both adults and youngsters, Skittles and Charades, a Victorian game which is still played today.
Blindman's Bluff .
"I'm Thinking of Something" similar to the game of "Twenty Questions".
For the Victorians, games like Checkers, Chess, Backgammon, and Cribbage were also popular.
Ice Skating was an approved winter-time sport. In 1876, however, the first artificially refrigerated ice rink was crafted in Chelsea, London.
Horseback riding was often learned at an early age.
Marbles were enjoyed by both boys and girls. Wealthier players had marbles which were made out of real marble, while others had marbles made of glass or clay.
Tops and Jacks were Victorian games and toys that could be played.
The first rules for Badminton were written in India in 1873, and this game hasn't much changed. Formerly known as "Hit and Scream".
Upper class and middle class...
Girls honed their home-making skills while boys would learn either estate management or financial procedures.
Dances and other group gatherings would happen on a regular basis. Trips to the seaside or to The Continent.
Victorian toys for these children were expensive. Rocking horses with real hair and doll's houses. Wax dolls and tea sets would often be set up in a corner of the bedroom.
Boys would have train sets, toy soldiers, marbles, checker boards and chess sets.
Working class children...
Although perhaps not played with often, Boys would use yo-yo's, tin soldiers, and toy drums. Marbles were popular.
Girls would make their own dolls from bits of rags and buttons as well as hopscotch.
If toys couldn't be found, rolling a hoop down the street would use any energy which was left over from a day of work. Games of hide-and-seek and Blindman's Bluff would be enjoyed by groups of children
Hope this is useful,

Question about master bedroom furniture?
jenk
I have a really beautiful bedroom set with a canopy and a huge four poster bed and marble top dresser and night stands. The bedroom size is unfortunately average not considered large. On the opposite side of the bed I have a flat screen tv on the wall. My husband found a really classy desk that matches the exact color and style of our bedroom. There would still be enough space to walk comfortably. Would it look bad if we placed that desk in that area where the tv is? It has no shelves or anything almost looks like a table. The study room is always being used up by everyone else in the house and my husband does a lot of work on the computer. Please advise me if this sounds like an ok idea.....
Answer
I agree with the standing outside and studying your room, its a really good way to get to know your room. Another thing though is that you need to figure out where the traffic flow of your room is. So the places you'll need space for the most. Its good that there is a comfortable amount of space to walk but what about when he's working? and you wanna walk through? I can't really imagine how far the bed is from the wall that the TV is on, but maybe putting the desk up against the wall underneath the TV is its not too overwhelming to the look of the room.
if the bed is far enough from that wall with the TV then I'd say go for it leave it where you intended and maybe get a small area rug for that desk so you can separate the little island of workspace your husband has got.
