The fads in the 1920's really sparked on how we have fun today. Many things were invented and made for the human need to have a good time. Most of the fads in the 1920's revolved around introduction of jazz music and board games.
The Chinese invented a very popular in their home land called, Mah-Jongg. When the Chinese immigrants came over they introduced that game to the Americans all across the country in the 20's. Most of the Americans didn't know how to play so they payed for instructional books and people to teach them. By 1923, Mah-Jongg board games were outselling radios.
The 1920's were called the "Roaring Twenties" simply because of how much dancing and music that was going on during that time. Jazz exploded into the music business. Famous performers from that time are Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington. Dancing was enormously popular, most famous dances were the Charleston, Shimmy, and the Black Bottom.
I think the 1920's would have been really fun to live in because it was like they had no worries. People didn't have to go to war and improvements to everyday life made everything easier. It seems it would have been crazy too, I read an article about a world record in the 1920's about a guy who sat on a flagpole for 49 days. I wouldn't have minded to live back then.
