I know how difficult it is to find quality, activities for children. In the mundane world, providing programs and activities that will keep their attention and help them grown, can be a real challenge. Add to that, life in the SCA, and things can get even tougher.
Historic documentation has provided us with a wealth of information on the daily lives and activities of youth throughout history. The problem is our children are the product of a modern society and thus they are more likely to grow bored with some of the traditional activities or games. Hey, it's not easy competing with video games and movie heros. So it is up to us to find a happy medium. Find modern activities and change them to suit our society without compromising historical fact.
I have gone through hundreds of craft, game, song, rhyme and project ideas and tried to find ways to apply them to the SCA. Some are very much based in historical certainty, while others have been created with a bit more imagination. I hope you find these ideas useful.
In Service to the Youth of our Society,
