Grade 4/5 String Tricks

Division 3 students are learning 'string tricks', also called string figures, from around the world. These ancient forms are created by manipulating string on, around, and using one's fingers or sometimes between the fingers of multiple people.

Ask the students to show you how to make a tea cup, a turtle, Jacob's ladder or man climbing a tree! Or come into the school and see their fantastic display across from the Front Office.

For more information, please ask one of our students or check out the International String Figure Association, established in 1978.
