stairs and the length of a ballroom without looking at her feet or stumbling in her shoes.
But how do you think she acquired those skills? Practice, practice, practice!
(Natural athleticism doesnt hurt, either.)
To play: Set up two obstacle courses, using chairs and books. Each player must quickly
walk the length of the course, going around chairs and stepping over books, from one end
to the other with The Secret Lives of Princesses balanced on her head. The first princess-in-training
to reach the end with the book still balanced, wins. If no one can balance the book for the
entire course, the one who did so longest will win.
Princess Picaresque practices her
balance in her own unique way.

Imagine the scene: a crowded ballroom with hundreds of courtiers and nobles
talking, laughing, and dancing. In that kind of cacophony, how could you ever
hold a conversation without shouting?
Through the ages, princesses have devised a very clever method of sending a message
a secret language using only the movements of their body and a fan! Some of the meanings
behind the subtle movements of a royal fan have been lost to time, but the standard
International Alphabet of Fans can help princesses-in-training come up with their own
secret language!
irst, have each princess-in-training make a simple folded paper fan using standard
white paper.
1. Place the paper on a counter or flat surface, laying it out vertically (up and down).
Beginning at the top, fold down one inch of the paper accordion style, all the way across.
2. Flip the paper over, with the new fold at the top. Fold down one inch of paper
(now twice as thick, including the last fold).
3. Continue this process, until the entire sheet is folded, back and forth, like an accordion.
4. Hold the creases closed at one end and fasten it with a stapler.
Open the pleats at the other end.
