When I was a kid, my grandmother taught us cousins, a type of game you can do with string or yarn. 1st one holds string in certain position then the other takes the x’s of the string and then it transfers it to their own hands. Play continues back and forth until either one messes up. Any one know what I am talking about? I want to teach my daughter, but I can’t remember how to do it. Any ideas?

We lived on 169th St. The old P.S. 168 had a pole that was cast in a roll away concrete heavy bottom. That was used to close the street to traffic and that street was considered a “play street” but only when school was in session. We used to roll that sign out AFTER SCHOOL to close the street for our variety of games, stick ball or roller derby. People were so considerate then—people driving cars never rolled the sign away so we had the whole street to ourselves. Fun, fun, fun.
