Victorian times started in 1837 and ended in 1901．Toys and games children played at that time were very different from those of today．
During the 19th century，rich children had more factory-made toys to choose from：dolls and doll's houses，tea-sets and toy shops with toy fruit，vegetables，
meat，hats and medicines．Other popular toys were sailing boats and Noah's Arks．
Many children from poor families lived in poor conditions，but there were still simple ways of having fun．In poor families，most toys were made of wood，paper or metal．There were no plastic toys．Poor children usually played with homemade toys．A clothes peg（晾衣夹） might be turned into a doll，and a piece of wood might become a toy boat．As a treat，families sometimes bought cheap factory-made toys from a "penny stall" in the market．
The Victorians were fond of outdoor games，such as football．Schools encouraged team games to "build character"．The Victorians made up rules for many games we still play．An example is badminton，which developed from an old game called battledore and shuttlecock．
Indoors，children played board games，such as Snakes and card games．A popular card game was Happy Families，introduced in the middle of the Victorian period．There were also pencil and paper games，such as Noughts and Crosses，which we still play today．Children played table games，such as Tiddlywinks，a popular game in the 1890s，and Shove Halfpenny and Bagatelle．At parties，children played traditional "ring" games like Oranges and Lemons and Kiss in the Ring．
