"Children's Games" is a renowned oil-on-panel painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, created in 1560. This work is celebrated for its detailed and lively depiction of over 200 children engaged in more than 80 different games and activities typical of the 16th-century European playground. The painting, measuring 118 cm by 161 cm, is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

The composition of "Children's Games" is a bustling panorama where Bruegel illustrates a multitude of games, including timeless activities such as hide-and-seek, leapfrog, and various ball games, as well as more obscure or period-specific pastimes. The artist's intricate portrayal of these activities provides a valuable historical record of the customs and social practices of childhood during his time. Bruegel's work is not merely a simple observation of children at play but is often interpreted as a commentary on the folly of human nature, suggesting that adults, like the children depicted, are often absorbed in frivolous and meaningless pursuits.

The painting stands out in Bruegel's oeuvre as one of his most ambitious compositions in terms of figures and activities represented. It is part of a series of works that depict various aspects of everyday life, with other notable examples including "The Peasant Wedding" and "The Tower of Babel." "Children's Games" is admired for its keen observation, rich detail, and the artist's ability to capture the essence of life in the 16th century with both humor and a critical eye. The work remains an important piece for the study of social history and the history of childhood, as well as a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art.
