The author shares his views on the tendency of children in the U.S. to forget to play. According to historian Carroll Quigley, as the amount of leisure time increases, there is also an increased possibility for public spectacles to replace private games. Social and psychological pressures are contributing to the disappearance of private games. Some of private games that children should learn to play are one-mile-brick-pull , mumblety peg, and paper-rock-scissor game.
