What is National Yo-yo Day?
Every year on June 6th, we celebrate the fun holiday, National Yo-Yo Day. The day honors the popular stringed toy that generations have loved. The Sleeper, Walk the Dog, Shooting the Moon, Around the World, or Hop the Fence are all good days to take out your yo's and try your hand at The Sleeper, Walk the Dog, Shooting the Moon, Around the World, or Hop the Fence.

The yo-yo is an object made up of an axle connected to two disks and a length of string looped around the axle. It is played by holding the free end of the string, allowing gravity or the power of a throw to spin the yo-yo and unwind the string, then allowing the yo-yo to spin the string and unwind the string, then allowing the yo-yo to wind itself back to its original form. "yo-yoing" is the product of "yo-yoing."
The yo-yo is thought to have been invented in ancient Greece. A child playing with a yo-yo is depicted in a Greek vase painting dating from 500 BC.
