Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun game that you can do with things you may have at home. You just need to follow a few easy steps.

You will need:

• one piece of colored paper     • five ribbons (丝带)

• strong tape                  • a string        • a pencil                                        

What to do:                                                

Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.

Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube (管子). Then stick the tube together at each end and in the middle with a strong tape.

Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie (系) the ends of the string together.

Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot(结)in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.

Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. Now you can enjoy watching it dance around on its own!
