Parachute String Game - Summer Learning Journey Day 21.

Today for our 1st activity we had to explain how to do the Witches Broom/Parachute with a piece of string or anything that works that you could find. I enjoyed this activity a lot because it took me quite a long time to do it myself as well because it was really hard. I found nothing hard except just trying to figure out how to do it myself. I liked this activity because it was fun and anyone can do it even if you have string or yarn, I used a shoelace and it worked out very well!

I found doing the video hard because I had to redo it a couple times which was frustrating. I also made a google slide about this activity and a link to the video of explaining how to do it, this is the video I look inspiration from, maybe it can help you just like it helped me! : Click Here. . Here are my google slides that I made:

    My name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey.

    This activity was really fun as I remember playing a lot of string games when I was in primary school such as cats cradle and ladder.

    I think you did an awesome job creating your string patterns and it looks like you had a lot of fun doing it and I think your parachute looks great and I like that in your video you gave a tutorial on how to make it, this is super helpful for any of your readers that also want to have a go at making this string pattern.

    What was the hardest part of this activity for you and do you think this activity is something you would share with your friends?

    Happy Holidays, Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.

    1. Kia Ora Zana,
      Thank you for commenting on my blog.
      It's so cool to know that people used to play string games like cat's cradle when they were younger too. The hardest part was definitely learning how to do it myself, I found it very tricky because it was so confusing until I found a video that helped me. I would definitely share this with my friends because it's a good source of entertainment and fun in general.
      What was your favourite pattern to do with the strings? Mine would definitely be the parachute and cups and saucers.

  2. Kia ora Manvi,
    String games are lots of fun and we used to do them when I was a kid. The trickiest one I could do was 9 of Diamonds. I had a go just now to see if I could still do it but got stuck after 3 moves. Like you I will use a video tutorial to help me finish it.
