What were the opportunities for children in rome?

The children of ancient Rome spent their free time playing with toys and indulging in various games. Some of the most common pastimes for Roman children were flying kites, playing with balls, and rolling hoops made from pieces of metal so that they chimed like bells when rolled. Boys also played war games with wooden swords and shields. Girls, on the other hand, played with dolls which could easily be made at home. The writings of Horace describe the children of ancient Rome playing games such as riding hobby-horses, building playhouses, and making carts.
