Today, I've discovered a whole new level of Chinese Yo-Yo in Guanghua Chinese School (GHCS) Summer Camp. Previously, I was focused on spinning it only. But now, I am able to toss and catch it. As much as you learn how to manage lifting and dropping motion with two sticks, you'll make a great progress and enjoy playing it over and over again. Some kids didn't even know how to spin Yo-Yo this morning. Next thing you know, they're spinning them as if they've been spinning Yo-Yo all their life.
Yo-Yo also has many fun games. Other than How Long you can spin it, there's: How Fast can it go in 10 seconds; How High can you Toss It and successfully Catch It (not recommended on hard surfaces)?
There're many skills to do with Yo-Yo and a lot more than what you think. So why not give a try? You never know.

今天在宾州光华中文学校夏令营里,我发现了抖空竹全新套路。先前我把注意力全部放在空竹旋转上,现在不仅能扔空竹,还可接空竹。一旦把握用两根棍棒上抛下挑动作,抖空竹的水平会大大提高,玩兴也将随之进一步增长。有的小伙伴早上还对它毫无感觉,可转眼之间,他们一下子就能上手,好像从小到大从未间断过抖空竹。
抖空竹也有很多好玩的游戏,除了较量旋转时间长短之外,还有在十秒钟内旋转速度如何﹖上抛高度以及接住空竹的成功率﹖(最好不要在硬地上练习。)
抖空竹需要很多技巧,比你想像得多,因此不妨亲自实践,否则你对它一无所知。
