Fun games using rubber bands: Recreation games (31–40)
fishing
Lures are essential for bass fishing.
It’s true there are soft, squishy types of lures, but… Can you really fish with a rubber band? No way, right? Apparently, you use a bundle of rubber bands.
They didn’t catch anything this time, but with some creative movement or repeated tries, it might just work.
With a bit of ingenuity, fishing might become even more fun.
rubber band gun
This is a gun made to shoot rubber bands.
The other parts use toy LEGO bricks.
It might be fun to make targets and compete for points.
Be sure to follow the rules and never aim or fire at people or animals.
Rubber bands are really handy items—they can substitute for many things and be used to make all sorts of creations.
How to do pachin!
It’s a game where you hook a rubber band on your finger and snap it to make a popping sound.
I wonder why we end up doing it—somehow it becomes a kind of fidgety habit.
It can be pretty powerful, so be careful; it might tear newspapers or thin paper.
Snap Frog
Many of you have probably made a frog toy using rubber bands and a milk carton.
It’s a simple toy, but little kids love it, so let’s learn how to make it.
It’s also fun to make it together with your child and compete to see whose frog jumps higher.
Relay race
This is a recreation activity using rubber bands that lets you train oral care while having fun playing a game.
All you need for the game is a straw and rubber bands.
Hold the straw in your mouth, hook a rubber band onto the end of the straw, and spin the rubber band.
The key is to grip the straw with your lips, not bite it with your teeth.
One thing to watch out for is accidentally poking someone with the tip of the straw.

Wrap around the whole body
A project asking: what if you wrapped rubber bands all over your body? The result looks just like the “Major League Ball training brace” from Star of the Giants.
It even makes you wonder if it could be good for strength training—your imagination starts to run wild thinking how it might be used.
It’s a video that will make you chuckle.
Giant rubber band super ball
We’ll make a Super Ball using rubber bands! All you need are 5,000 rubber bands and the patience to match.
I know it’s easy to feel discouraged, but keep going for three hours, and you’ll have a giant rubber-band Super Ball.
Now that it’s about the size of a baseball, just how high will this rubber-band Super Ball bounce?
