HOW TO PLAY
1

Loop the string around your fingers in a traditional starting position.

2

Use your fingers to weave, hook, and pull specific strands, following a known sequence to form a shape.

3

Name the finished shape, which traditionally represents a person, object, or scene from a story or legend.

4

Recite or tell the short story or saying connected to that particular figure as you display it.

5

Practice transitioning from one figure into the next without fully releasing the string.

6

Challenge another player to learn the sequence and repeat the figure themselves.
