This is an oral history project undertaken by the GSFS Class of 2018 to gather information about the kinds of games people played as children in different eras. Through it, students have learned about childhood in the past, understood how oral histories are constructed, and analyzed patterns in historical data.

Each student interviewed somebody they knew, transcribed the interview, and edited it for publication. In editing, they have not changed the meaning of the interview, but have put the words into a more readable format. Students asked background questions about where and when their subjects grew up, then asked about favorite outdoor and indoor games they played.
