Egyptian adults played lots of diffrent board games like senet, which is where you reflect on the journy of the afterlife .Senet was played with coloured sticks and counters. Dogs and jackals was also played, they played this game with sticks and dog and jackal heads on them.Mehme aka, the game of the snake was played with lots of people, marbels and animal pieces.(They used a spiral game board in form of a snake.) Another game played was Pwer, which was like checkers. Eyptians adults played games that were very compitive and games that you would win and get money or a collar(called usekh) Some athletic games that the ancient egyptians people enjoyed to watch and play were long jump, long distance running, tug of war and spear throwing.

The diffrence between now and back then is, I think we are way more advanced in all areas of entertainment.For example these days we have technology like t.v. and internet, which we use alot.Also in music, we have more instruments and we can go on the internet or the radio and listen to music.Another diffrence is these days hunting is not so popular as it was in the time of the 'ancient Egyptian people'. And children these days have more toys and technology and more games. =====
