Ayatori


Yesterday, at the way station, I was surprised to see kids are playing "Ayatori(in my language)".
I thought Japanese contingent had taught them. But no! It seems there is Ayatori in South Sudan traditionally!

Do you have the same in your country?? How do you call it?
I googled and found "Ayatori" is "String Figures" in English.
