1001 children's games from 1935 - descriptions

The database consists of children's games' descriptions found in Estonian Folklore Archives of the Estonian Literary Museum' collections. Most of the available game descriptions come from the materials of the nationwide children's games collecting competition of 1934-1935. Game descriptions and drawings were collected from schoolchildren. The competition was organized in co-operation with the school administration of the Ministry of Education. The sample contains the majority of the popular games at that time for children age 5-15, presenting also the most unique ones. Furthermore, you will find descriptions of games that are played to this day and the forgotten ones. The texts are modified to be more readable, but they still include spellings that are old-fashioned and do not comply with the contemporary orthographic rules. One game can be presented in several different variants that help to understand its rules better.本数据库收录爱沙尼亚文学博物馆（Estonian Literary Museum）下属爱沙尼亚民俗档案馆（Estonian Folklore Archives）馆藏中的儿童游戏描述文本。绝大多数现有游戏描述源自1934至1935年全国性儿童游戏征集竞赛的相关素材，相关游戏描述与手绘插图均由中小学生提交。本次竞赛由爱沙尼亚教育部学校管理部门合作主办。本数据集涵盖了当时5至15岁儿童群体中绝大多数流行游戏，同时收录了极具独特性的游戏品类。库中既包含至今仍在流传的游戏玩法描述，也涵盖了已被遗忘的传统游戏内容。所有文本均经过可读性优化处理，但仍保留了部分不符合当代正字法规范的过时拼写。一款游戏可呈现为多种不同变体，这有助于研究者更清晰透彻地理解其游戏规则。
