Chopsticks - it's not just a piano song!

Hold the first chopstick like a pencil, but very lightly, letting the chopstick rest on your hand.

The small end should point down and the thicker end up.

With your other hand, slide the second chopstick through the “O” created by your thumb and index finger; rest the chopstick on your ring finger.

Move your index finger and middle finger up and down. Pretend you’re tapping.

The top chopstick should move up and down while the bottom chopstick stays stationary.

Eat up!
