Do you remember this?

Cat's cradle, right? Here's a website where you can find a little history, some pictures and some video instructions: http://www.alysion.org/figures/string.htm

Doesn't this bring back some memories? We used to play this on the school bus, especially after school when my brothers and I were the last ones dropped off. What about your memories?

Indeed it does bring back memories. I could almost remember some of those jump-room chants as I read this. Thanks for the smile.

Oh yes, I remember doing those. A little string, a ball, a rope and a few small things were all we needed to have fun. Now look at us. Times have changed...

I remember learning all these as a child, we used to have so much fun sharing the different things we could do with our string or yarn.

Yes, I remember doing this but when I was really young. It then turned into hand clapping games!
