A five minute on lesson the Karuk Fish Spear, a three step figure I usually use as the first thing to teach to young kids. It’s a hack in the sense that’s it’s on YouTube, not in person, and is also an excerpt from a Teachers Teaching Teachers session I asked for after the wonderful session Paul led on Mine Craft, which got me thinking that I should add this meat space game I love so much to cyber space. And it’s a #toyhack in the sense that string is one of The Five Greatest Toys of All Time.

An example of a collaborative string game for 3 or more people
Simple instructions, with one illustrating photograph, showing how to make a polygon with as many sides as you have people in your group (of at least three), and then to transform the polygon into a star with as many points as sides. Beautiful, and fun, and a great group “equalizer”–each person needs to be equi-distant and balance the tension on the string with the rest of the group.
