Boys' Play Clothes: Belgian Games


Figure 1.--A Belgian reader tells us that this photograph was probably taken in Antwerp during the 1950s. I'm not sure what the children are doing. Notice the tou gun.

We have very little information about the games Belgian children played. We suspect that the games that children played were similar throughout Westrn Europe. We assume that the games in Belgium were very similar to those in France and the Netherlands. There were presumably some destinctive Belgan games are local twists to more common games. We also do not yet know if there were diferences among Waloon and Flemish children. Hopefully our Belgian readers will be able to provide some insights.
