Take two paper cups and poke wholes through the bottom. Get some string and insert it through the bottom of the cup. Tie knots on the ends of it so it will pull through the bottom of the cup. Then make the string taught and talk into the cup. If pulled taut enough, the string will carry the vibrations of your speech, and your string telephone should work.
