Description

The slat book was the first kind of Chinese book, made from slats of wood or bamboo and cord. This type of book is the reason that Chinese writing is done from top to bottom, rather than from left to right like Western writing. The books were rolled up easily for storage.

Resources

• 5-6 slim wooden boards or thick popsicle sticks per person
• String
• Black marker pen

Instructions

1. On each board, write one of the 5 Scout Values (Integrity, Respect, Care, Belief, Cooperation) in Mandarin (Google will help you do this!).
2. When finished, cut a length of string and tie it to the first stick. Wrap the string around the second then the third and so on. Tie the string securely to the last stick and trim off any excess.
3. Repeat with a second piece of string. Your book can then be folded up to store or opened out to read
