middleages games

1.Hide n Seek:Hide and Seek was played the same as today. Using whatever hiding places are
available and the restrictions or limits agreed on by the players, play this ancient child's
game. Someone is designated at “it.” Everyone hides. “It” looks for them. Usually, the
first one found is “it” the next round although there are many variations. 
2.Tag:Tag is another game played the same. Tapestry's, murals, and other drawings and
pictures show kids chasing each other in what appears to be tag. Set up the game your
favorite way, or ask the kids for their favorite version. There are literally hundreds of
versions of tag. Nevertheless, at its essence, whoever is designated as “it” chases the
other players until they successfully “tag” another player. That player is then “it” for the
next round. Many versions have a safe place where runners can rest and untaggable—
“base”. 
3.Tic Tac Toe:Choose which player will be represented by X
and which by O. Let player X go first. He or she may
put an X in any of the nine sections of the grid. Have
player O go next. Alternate until either there are three
X’s or three O’s in a row horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally. If the grid is full but there are not three in
a row, the game is a tie (“cat”). Let the winner be X
next time. 
4.Fishing:Fishing can be fun and relaxing. It might also produce a tasty dish for supper. 
5.Walking on Stilts:In medieval times, many of the games children played mimicked what they saw 
festivals or what they observed in battle training. Games helped them practice accuracy,
agility, balance, and strategy. Walking on stilts would have been something they
observed acrobats and other performers doing at Medieval Faires. 
6.See Saw:See saw is essentially two people going up and down on opposite ends of a board
with a fixed object in the middle allowing one side to be up
while the other is down. The two players are seated and
use their legs to propel themselves back up while the other
player goes back down. It can be as simple of a version as
a board over a barrel or tree log. 
7.Jingling:Jingling is the reverse of Hoodsman’s Blind. All of the players are blindfolded
except “It”. “It” is given a string of bells and the players must try to catch him. The
person who catches “It” is “It” for the next game.
8.Barley Break:The game starts by marking an area on the ground by drawing a circle or other
shape. “It” cannot leave this area. The players must try to run through the area without
getting tagged. If a player is tagged, they must join hands with “It” and help to catch the
other players. As more players get tagged, they join onto the end of the line. Only those at
the ends of the line can tag a player. Those in the middle can however help to “net” the
player as they try to run through. The last person caught is “It” for the next game. 
9.Marbles:We don't know the rules. But probably they played the
same basic games of marbles that we know today: one version
where you take turns tossing the marbles at a goal (another
marble, a hole, or a wall), and another version where you take
turns shooting the marbles within a circle drawn in the dirt,
trying to get them out of the circle. One version has a series of
arches for you to get the marbles through. The medieval
marbles were clay, but modern marbles can be substituted.
Draw your circle and have fun!
10.Stone Throwing :This done by throwing small stones for a distance or at a target on the ground foraccuracy.

jousting,dueling,melee

Jousting


SET 1.Both contestants must be mounted on horseback.
Both contestants must be wearing full protective armor.
Both contestants must have a jousting lance.
Both contestants' mounts must be wearing protective armor.
SET 2.The jousting lance is approximately 6 feet long.
The jousting lance is flat on its end to prevent from penetrating armor and increase safety.
There are no water breaks during a match.
There are no bathroom breaks during a match.
There are no timeouts during a match, unless a player or horse is injured.
SET 3.There is a fence running through the middle of the jousting grounds.
Player 1 is positioned on one side of the fence at one end.
Player 2 is positioned on the opposite side of the fence at the other end of the fence.
Only the jousting lance will be able to reach over the fence.
Before the signal is given, the jousting lance must be held up over the player, so that its point is above their head.
Once signaled, the two players will ride their way to the other end of the the fence.
Along the way, the two players will have the opportunity to knock each other off by using their lance.

Dueling
1. Pole Weapons were also an extremely popular weapon of choice in which duelers would use during the Middle Ages. These pole weapons would consist of: staves, spars, and halberds. Since this weapon was so long, the ways in which you could use it were very cunning and tricky. The rules for this type of dueling were the same as any other type of dueling, but with one key difference. Instead of using just any other weapon, both duelers had to use only pole weapons. Unlike jousting, duels were wild and crazy. Duels usually didn't consist of many rules. The only rules in a duel were the rules in which the tournament or duelers would state were the rules. 
2.  The two handed sword was an extremely popular dueling weapon of choice for knights during the Middle Ages. The two handed sword is an extremely long sword that takes two hands to hold. These swords were not sharpened until the end of the tip, but it could still slice and cut into flesh if swung with sufficient force. There weren't many rules to this type dueling, or dueling in general. The only few rules in which this type of dueling was that the dueling would have to be announced before hand and that you have to bind by the rules in which the tournament says are the rules. For example, if the tournament in which two duelers are dueling in are that you would have to use the same weapon, you would have to abide by them. In this type of dueling, both duelers would have to use the two handed sword as a weapon.
3. The Shield and Buckler is a very misunderstood weapon to the modern people today. To the modern people today, many believe that the shield is only used as a defensive object in a battle. In contrary, the shield is just as much an offensive weapon as it is a defensive weapon. You could block a sword swing or bash someone's head in with a shield. As a little brother to the shield, there was also the Buckler. The Buckler was just simply a smaller, more nimble version of the shield. With the Buckler, you could quickly smash someone's sword out of their hand, and slice their neck with your sword with one quick action. As with the other types of duels, this type dueling only followed the rules in which the tournament or duelers would agree on. It was extremely wild and scary.

Melee
1. The Melee A Cheval was a type of Melee in which teams of  knights would fight each other on horseback. These knights would be permitted to be equipped with whatever they wanted, but than again the sponsor could change the rules to whatever they wanted to. To win in this type of melee, the goal was to out best or throw the opponent off of their horse. The rules were whatever the sponsor allowed you to do. Some of the common rules in which most Melee A Cheval sponsor would use are: to win the whole enemy team must be bested, all weapons must be blunted, and each side must consist of the same number of players. It was like Jousting and Dueling put together. This type of entertainment was also used to train the knights for actual combat, and was extremely scary and disorganized..
2.The Melee A Pied was the counterpart of the Melee A Cheval. Both were extremely similar. The only difference was that instead of being on horseback, the knights or players would be on foot. Everything else was pretty much the same. To see the other rules for this type of Melee, look up to read my description of the Melee A Cheval. 
3.  Today, many people still practice this crazy and unorganized sport. The rules for this sport however, have been slightly tweaked to make the sport less dangerous. Some of these rules are: all weapons must be blunted, armor must be worn at all times, once knocked down the enemy can not be attacked anymore, etc. Rules on the general concept of the sport however have been left as is. Even with all of these rules about safety, when playing this sport many people still get extremely injured. Luckily, deaths are extremely uncommon in Modern Melee, but this was sadly not true in Medieval Melee.
