A Bocce - Bible Connection?

On this 4th of July, as Americans gather for family picnics and backyard barbecues, fun and games abound!  Horseshoes, badminton, baseball (or, its scaled-down cousin -  wiffleball) ... It all makes me wonder: What games did Jesus play?

Last week, during the Sunday school hour, we pondered that question as the Rolling Hills Youth Sunday school class played a friendly game of bocce on the dirt of the softball field in front of our church building.  "What is bocce?" you may ask.

Wikipedia explains that bocce is a bowling game from Italy. Italian migrants have taken the game with them to other parts of Europe, North and South America, and even Australia.

Bocce has its origins in ball games played in the ancient Roman Empire.  The website for the United States Bocce Federation has this to say about the origins of the game:
The early Romans were among the first to play a game resembling what we know as Bocce today. In early times they used coconuts brought back from Africa and later used hard olive wood to carve out Bocce balls. Beginning with Emperor Augustus, Bocce became the sport of statesman and rulers.

Wait!  Emperor Augustus?  How do we Christians know that name? Ah, yes, we know it from the Christmas story as told in Luke 2:
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.  (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)  And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. -Luke 2:1-7 (TNIV).

Caesar Augustus ruled the Roman Empire from 27 BCE until his death in 14 CE, which means that Augustus governed the Roman Empire (of which Palestine was an involuntary outpost) from the time of Jesus' birth through his teen years.  We know that Roman soldiers were a common sight for the Jewish people of ancient Palestine in Jesus' day.  The gospels record Jesus interacting with Roman soldiers and authorities (see, for example, Matt. 8:5-13), and, of course, the Romans ultimately crucified him. 

So, I wonder ... WWJP? (What would Jesus play?)  Did Jesus grow up seeing Roman soldiers and officials playing bocce?  Did the game ever interest him and his friends?  Did he, perhaps, play the game of bocce?  Unless archaeologists uncover evidence of a Holy Land Bocce Federation, we may never know on this side of heaven whether Jesus was a champion bocce-baller. 

I've searched the internet for any proof that Jesus played bocce, and I just might have found some video evidence.  Check out this video by Croatia's Luky.  There's a bocce game at the end of the video ... and one of the players looks a little like Jesus to me.  What do you think?
