How to make a rolling iron ring

Rolling iron ring production method:

Tools and materials: a wooden stick, an iron ring, thick wire, pliers, wrenches.

The first step: the first wire around the bucket, around a circle, and then the sticker joints to stay about 5cm cut.

Second step: take off the bucket, the wire joints with a signature tight; and then with a hammer, the joints knocked flat (so that rolling up will be smooth); to do a good job of joints of the iron ring re-set into the bucket, the purpose is to make the iron ring round. This way the ring is finished.

Step 3: Take a piece of wire according to your child's height, and add about 10 centimeters to the distance from the ground that your child's normal hand tilts forward to. Use pliers to create a U-shaped hook on one end of the wire.

Step 4: Combine the wire ring and hook together and you're done.

Rolling Iron Ring

The traditional children's game of the olden days was prevalent throughout China in the 1960s and 1970s. Players pinch the top of the "U" shaped iron rod or wire, pushing a black iron ring of about 66 centimeters in diameter to run forward. Some also put two or three small rings on the ring to make it louder when rolling. Make a loop with the wire and then a long-handled iron hook, and push this wire loop to roll along.

The movement of the iron ring is difficult and requires some skill. Individual events and group competitions are available. There are 50 meters or 100 meters racing, there are 100 meters obstacles (such as around the bushes, over the log bridge), 4 × 100 meters relay and other competitions.
