TRUE or FALSE? - Double -Play!




Sir Stephen Peek, Archduke of Shropshire, created the game of peekaboo for his niece.




Peekaboo goes as far back as ancient Rome. Its exact origins, however, have been difficult to trace, as is the case with most nursery games. Peekaboo is usually played by hiding one’s face behind one’s hands, but using a mask or something big, like a couch or wall, are common variations.

King Louis XIV was a ballet dancer.







Louis XIV, king of France from 1643 to 1715, began dancing in court ballets around the age of 12 and continued to do so until he was about 31, when his weight became a deterrent. The Sun King’s first solo role was in a performance called Cassandre.
