Amusement on the Street
From the traditional to the invented, a variety of street games have been played by kids in the City
Over the years, in New York City's five boroughs, kids found a variety of ways to amuse themselves in the streets. They played, and sometimes even invented games, using whatever was at hand; bottle caps, broomsticks, or a piece of chalk.
On this week's Cityscape, we’re talking about classic street games; Stickball, Stoopball, Ringolevio, Scully, Johnny on a Pony, and more.
