Colonial Games

Join us outdoors (weather-permitting) for family programs at Philipse Manor Hall! Learn how people of the past entertained themselves tabletop games like mancala, shut the box, captain's mistress, nine man's morris, skittles, and more, plus hand-eye coordination games like quoits, cup and ball, jacob's ladder, and outdoor-only games like graces, hoop and stick, battledore and shuttlecock, and more. This program is free and open to the public, no registration required. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
