What were some of American families’ entertainment before television was invented?

Sonho de Valsa asked:

I did a little homework and the internet game me 1831-1900 as the timeline for the invention of tv. Do you know the types of entertainment before tv existed? Some I can think of are circus shows, street shows, games, theatre, dance shows. What else?
I’m doing this for my research paper. Exclude radio because it was invented during similar time.

    Mostly sports, theater and music. MUSIC was a MAJOR thing going on in the early American Revolution. You could almost type a 10 page paper about it- it’s just that big. Hope this helps :-)

    They did a lot of recreation too which is one reason why they weren’t as fat as we are today. They played football in the streets, basketball, hardball, softball, etc., ran races, went on hikes, camped out, went bowling, exploring, to museums, or planetariums, or aquariums, festivals, rock climbing, etc.
