[LM_NET] Target: ELEM: Storytelling with string figures

[Ann Marie Gordon <agordon@LIVONIACSD.ORG>]

Hello, folks.

I planning to teach some of my students how to do a few different string
figures (like "Cat's Cradle") from around the world as part of unit on
games around the world.  Does anyone have any good resources to
recommend, or favorite tales which lend themselves to storytelling with
string figures?  Any advice would be appreciated.

I have two books from Klutz Press to start with: Cat's Cradle and String
Games from Around the World, both by Anne Akers Johnson.

Thanks!
