Yarn games are one of the oldest and most widespread forms of games worldwide. In our culture, these games sink more and more into oblivion. Apart from `Taking Over´, yarn games are hardly known at all.
Yarn games are fun and have something to offer for all age groups. Children can develop their motor skills, their hand-eye-coordination, their creativity, and a sense of community. Youth can be motivated to join the fun of playing. Adults may find a new free time activity in yarn games, or use them as a multiplier in their job. Senior citizens can strengthen the agility of their hands and use yarn games for memory training.
