Passing the Heritage, Hand to Hand

Pickney Time

The games our elders played are a library written in bodies and voices. Pickney Time keeps that library open three ways: a living museum you can read all year, one day each year when the generations play together, and ten summer weeks when children learn it deep.

Three Ways In

The Museum · Library · Wiki

Open All Year

Over one hundred Jamaican children's games — rules, songs, history, and memories — building toward the world's largest archive of Jamaican play. Soon you'll be able to add your own memories, photos, and recordings directly to every game's page.

Pickney Time Sports Day

August 29, 2026 · Annual

One day a year, the elders come to play. Ring games, yard games, and toy-making — grandparents, parents, and pickney side by side, passing heritage the way it has always moved: in person, in play.
