Girls had dolls. Some dolls were very lifelike with extra sets of clothing.
They played board games like Senet.
They wrote love poetry, silly puns, and magical spells.
They loved music, expecially percussion instruments. They loved singing and hand clapping games.
Festivals were held frequently. At festivals, men and women would dance, but men did not dance with women. Either they danced alone, or men danced with men, and women danced with women.
All ancient Egyptians, even the peasants who worked hard each day, left time to play and spend time with their families.
