    During ancient times, children didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to enjoy themselves.

    Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let's take a look.

    Playing diabolo (空竹;空中陀螺)

    Diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空的) in the center. Playing diabolo is a very interesting folk game, especially popular in North China.

    Flying kites
