Synopsis

Played all over the world, string games are known by names that reflect the cultures they come from. Songs are often sung as the string figures develop, becoming entwined and part of each story.

With something for everyone, these ingenious tricks and tales are developed and taught with utter simplicity, making them suitable from age 5 upward. This is one book of a series of three, which also includes Now You See It ... Each book includes; an introduction, a section on origins, hints for teachers and performers, an 'Invented by Children' section.
