I decided to upload some children’s games this week.  The illustrations in this post are from the book What Shall We Do Now? 500 Children’s Games and Pastimes by Dorothy Canfield and Others.  The book was published by Frederick A. Stokes Company Publishers or New York in 1907.  The book is in the public domain and all images should be copyright free.
Five Dots
The first image is from page 48.  In this game, you place 5 dots anywhere on a page.  Another player draws a picture utilizing all 5 dots in the drawing.
Outlines
The second image is from page 49.  In this game, you draw a line on the page.  The next player must draw a picture so that the line fits perfectly into the drawing.
Paper Mother and Child with Clothes for Each
Paper Dolls are always fun.  The third image is a set of mother and child paper dolls with clothes.  The image is from page 260.
Paper Girl with Six Changes
The fourth image is a paper doll girl with a set of clothes.  This image is on page 261.

All of the images have been scanned in at 300 dpi.    The images have been attributed to Creative Commons.  You can go to my flickr page and download the size of your choice by clicking on the images in this post.
