More broadly, how do children’s culture get taught and spread from age group to age group, and why do they persist long after the children themselves become adults and have long forgotten them? Seems like no matter how many decades have passed, children still know Patty Cake, Mama jokes, they play tag and hop scotch, they make paper airplanes. Is it really as simple as 5th graders teaching 3rd graders ad infinitum?
In: Culture
A lot of these games are taught by parents to their children as well.
Parents are definitely teaching children to play patty cake and to make paper airplanes.
