What did children and teenagers do for entertainment in the 1910s?
Hang out with friends. Attend local fairs, carnivals, sponsored club meetings. Go fishing or hunting. Learn needlework from a relative, neighbor, or friend. Take rides on wagons that were going somewhere new. Most young people didn’t live in cities back then. Not many cars around and no radios. Only the well -off teen had leisure time on a regular basis. Most kids were expected to lend a hand at home or on the farm, or at their Dad’s or older brother’s workplace. Chores or odd jobs for cash. Find some popular books that take place in the 1910s, books that focus on teenagers. That should be helpful.
