Chinese Yo-Yo
Chinese Games for Kids

yo-yo1 Yo-Yo is a popular kids game in the world. We will introduce Chinese Yo-Yo in this feature. This is the second game in the series of Chinese Games for Kids.

Chinese yo-yo is also called Pull-Bell, which has a long history as described in literature from the Ming dynasty (1386-1644 AD). There are two forms of Chinese yo-yo, the single-bell and the double-bell. Kids usually play the double-bell yo-yo.

The double-bell yo-yo looks just like two wheels on an axle. The Chinese yo-yo is played in the string, and the two ends of the string are attached to two sticks. So the player moves the two sticks to control the yo-yo (see the photo).
