In 1560, Pieters Bruegel the Elder painted 'The Children's Games'. The canvas shows over 80 scenes with approximately 240 figures and gives a faithful overview of the children's games from Bruegel's time.
Two boys, sitting astride a barrel, both hands in the barrel hole, swing back and forth. A child who calls through the barrel hole makes his voice sound hollower and heavier. You can try out a modern version of the barrel on the 'running trainer' here.

Children's Games is a painting from 1560 by the Southern Netherlandish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The painting offers the modern viewer a wealth of largely lost information about games and forms of entertainment that European children enjoyed in the 16th century. More than eighty different children's games that were once played in the Low Countries are shown.
