Nowadays most children have computer games and other mechanical or electric toys. However they also play with some of the same kinds of toys that children played with thousands of years ago.
More than 2, 500 years ago, for example, children in ancient Greece played with skipping ropes and hoops(呼啦圈). They also had spinning tops(陀螺)made of wood, and marbles made of stone or clay. Modern spinning tops are made of plastic, and most marbles nowadays are made of glass but the games children play with are the same.
When archeologists(考古学家)opened the tomb of the Egyptian boy-king Tutankhamen(图坦卡蒙)they found some of his toys. They found a boat and a set of checkers(西洋跳棋). Egyptian children of that time also played with wooden houses on wheels, and balls made of cloth and reeds.
Many years before the time of Tutankhmen, Chinese children played with yo-yos, and dolls made of wood or clay.
Even though many modern toys are complicated and expensive, young children especially enjoy playing with very simple toys. They will probably still be playing with tops, yo-yos and marbles in the year 5, 000, although they might be playing with them on another planet!
