In Medieval Times people were entertained by watching tournaments. Knights would joust, sword fight and do archery. At Medieval Times they played a game where they had to ride on their horse and stab their jousting pole through a little ring with a ribbon on it. They would entertain the King and Queen with horse tricks and riding tricks. Jesters wore silly costumes and did silly tricks at the feasts. People would sing, dance, and tell stories or poems at feasts.
Some games that they played were chess, checkers, bowling, horse shoes, blind man's bluff and bobbing for apples. We still play these games today! One game that they played was called King of the Bean. Someone would bake a cake and put a bean in it. Everyone eats the cake and whoever finds the bean is named the King.
People liked to hunt in Medieval Times. Trainers trained falcons to help hunters. The birds would help to catch smaller animals and birds. I saw some trained falcons when I took a trip to Medieval Times and they were really cool!
