Fun games using rubber bands: Recreation games (31–40)
rubber band lure
This video shows someone trying to use rubber bands as a substitute for worms on a fishing lure.
As you can see, they catch an astonishing number of fish.
It’s more about the fishing than the rubber bands, but if you like fishing, why not give it a try?
rubber band instrument
By simply cutting slits in an empty snack box and attaching rubber bands, you can make an instrument that can even play a scale.
A sturdy box is recommended so it won’t yield to the pressure of the rubber bands.
Tight rubber bands produce higher notes, while looser ones produce lower notes, and thinner rubber bands give higher tones, while thicker ones give lower tones.
It seems like it could also serve as a science experiment.
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.
