What did the Quakers do for fun?

Question

Quakers the religion not the cerial. make a list please

Answer 1

Well, the Quakers didn't approve of such things as dancing, card-playing, and most other forms of recreation common in Colonial days (or, for that matter, in England before Penn's colony)--in fact, neither did the Puritans.

Generally they would play games that we'd consider rather childish, such as "Button, Button, Who's Got the Button", read, or garden. They were often interested in new scientific developments (Rittenhouse was into astronomy and Bartram was quite the botanist), but didn't hold with portraiture (even though Bejamin West was a Quaker by birth). Unlike the German Pietistic sects (with whom they shared some beliefs, such as pacifism) who were very musical, they didn't go in much for that, either.

Of course, times change and with them so do religious opinioins regarding recreational activities, so I confined myself to what the early American Quakers were like. I think, today, that they're not too different from anyone else when it comes to how they spend their leisure time.
