Mug phone game for kids

We used to play it very often, the mug phone has already been forgotten, but it is still very funny for little kids. It does not have to be a walkie-talkie, so fun, the cups work great too.

It works like this

The spoken word causes the cups to vibrate, these oscillations of the cup bottom in turn, transfer to the thread and are transformed into words by the other's auditory nerve. So pretty magical the whole thing.

You only need 2 cups (yogurt cups go too) and a cotton thread about 10 meters long.

Insert a small hole into the middle of each cup and pull the thread through, then knot well, so that the thread can not slip out. Already it can start, but always remember, the thread should always be pulled tight when talking and listening, so that it also works with the vibrations. I took wool, it was fine, but better is a good cotton yarn.
