A template is provided, but feel free to create your own unique design. One side should be colored green representing NO stress. The other side is colored red representing stress.

These can also be used as silent ways to communicate yes or no, true or false, positive or negative, or finished/not finished. Think of creative ways to use them. 3. Explain how the paddles work.
