Ancient Egypt Entertainment and Games 

The people of Ancient Egypt enjoyed a variety of activities for entertainment. Like in most societies, the wealthy had more leisure time for fun and games, but even the peasants liked to have fun and enjoy festivals and games. 

Hunting 

The Egyptians not only hunted for food, they also hunted for entertainment. Sometimes large game animals would be brought into an enclosed area for rich nobles, or even the pharaoh, to hunt. Dangerous animals like lions or hippos were hunted this way. Hunters used a variety of weapons including spears, arrows, and throwing sticks. 

Board Games 

The Ancient Egyptians liked to play board games for fun. Two of the most popular board games were senet and mehen. The game of senet is thought to be over 5000 years old. It was so popular that many pharaohs were buried with senet boards so they would have something to do in the afterlife. Mehen was played on a round board with spaces shaped like a coiled snake. 

Sports 

The Ancient Egyptians also enjoyed physical games and sports. Many of the sporting activities helped to prepare young men for battle. Wrestling was a popular sport that both the rich and the poor people alike enjoyed. Chariot racing helped to hone the skills of chariot drivers and archery contests helped warriors improve their accuracy with the bow and arrow. 

Storytelling 

Most Ancient Egyptians could not read or write. Up until the times when the Greeks conquered Egypt, the Egyptians didn't have any theatre either. However, the Ancient Egyptians loved to tell stories. Storytellers could keep an audience captivated for hours with popular tales about Egyptian gods, love, war heroes, and adventures. Stories were passed down from generation to generation orally. 

Festivals 

Throughout the year the Egyptians celebrated various festivals. Many of these were in honor of certain gods such as the Thoth festival. Festivals involved special offerings and celebrations. During the Opet Festival, the statues of the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu would travel in a parade from the Temple of Karnak to Luxor. 

What did kids do for fun? 

Children were considered adults at a very young age in Ancient Egypt. While they were still children, however, they had fun playing games and swimming in the Nile River. Archeologists have found evidence of all sorts of kids toys such as rattles, toy lions, balls, and spinning tops. 

Interesting Facts About Entertainment and Games in Ancient Egypt 

• Since most of the people lived near the Nile River, the Egyptians were excellent swimmers and enjoyed a number of water sports and activities. 

• Wealthy nobles often held large parties with lots of food and entertainment such as dancers and musicians. 

• At parties, guests would have cones of perfume placed on their heads to make them smell good.

Ashley Trent, one of our most popular young actors, is now filming college Rap. He began having acting lessons six years ago and was in his play at ten years old.

At fourteen, he immediately became well known, not for acting in the theater, but on TV. “That was fun!” he says. “I was in a fast-food advert with a cartoon clown, but filming College Rap is much harder work. I have to play baseball and sing in the film, which is fine, but I need to have dancing lessons too. When we finish filming each day, I don’t go out with friends. I usually sit in the bath for an hour because my legs and arms hurt! But I’m enjoying myself because the three adult actors who the teachers in College Rap are really good. They’ve filmed all over the world. They’ve taught me to remember my lines more quickly too. I needed half a day to learn five pages before, but now I only need a quarter of an hour.”
