Dexterity
Winding up strings primarily promotes dexterity of the fingers. Good finger dexterity is also of great advantage when writing by hand.
Instructions
The strings are rolled out and cut to the same length (e.g. 3m). Tie a small object to the end of each string of the same length. When the children hear "Go!", they should wind the string into a ball as quickly as possible - the first person to reach the object is the winner!
When winding up, make sure that you always start with the string and do not wind it around your hand, for example.
