3. Wrap strips of masking tape around the top, bottom, then 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the way down the tube.
4. Make the second tube the same way.

   I demonstrate the stick movements by first hitting the sticks on the floor 4x, then flipping them one hand at a time 4x, then tossing sticks to the other hand 4x, then flipping both sticks at the same time.
   The children are always impressed with the flipping movements, even though they are quite easy to do. Have fun becoming skillful at Lummi Sticks!

"If you are doing this as a Thinking Day activity for NZ please do some research and don't call it Lummi (or Lemmi as I have also seen) sticks as this is not correct for NZ and is offensive to some NZ Maori."
