Childhood Adventure

Then and Now

Adventure Then

A child’s adventure in the 1930’s consisted of going somewhere far from their house, and staying out for a long time.

Children’s Health Then

In the 1930’s, kids were more athletic than they are now. This is because they were more active.

Children’s Creativity Then

Children had more of an imagination because they had to make up their own games. They could not go inside and play on the computer or watch television.

Children’s health back then

Back in the 1930’s, kids played outdoors instead of inside a small room. They are more healthy than kids now.

Introduction to television, what started happening to Kids

With the introduction of television, many kids stayed inside and did nothing. This made them start to practice an unhealthy lifestyle.

Children’s Adventures

These kids do nothing but sit around and play games all day. As a result, that are not as active and healthy as they should be.
