The Seven Chinese Brothers
by Margaret Mahy and
Mou-Sien Tseng.
Game/Activity: Have a chopstick relay race. See who can place “rice” (white cottonballs) in a bowl the quickest, only using chopsticks to pick up the rice. If you don’t have authentic chopsticks from a Chinese restaurant, you might substitute a pair of unsharpened pencils. For better grip, use the eraser end of the pencils to snag the cottonballs.
