My fieldwork journals, recording life in a community in Northeast Brazil, are rich in material on the day-to-day workings of popular culture in an environment where resources of all kinds are scarce and have to be secured if you are to survive. How the ‘common-sense’ knowledge of popular culture is handed down, learned and re-invented as individuals interact in a social context is a very important part of writing not just a history of popular culture, but a popular history of culture, in other words, from the point of view ‘of the people’. There is much material in my journals on children's play and it is on this aspect of popular culture that this article focuses
