Get set up
Gather the required materials: Rubber bands and safe tabletop targets. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Set lightweight non-breakable targets on a table.
- Mark a launch line.
- Explain that bands are aimed only at targets.
- Start the timer and count target hits.
- Reset targets between players.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use different target values or replace rubber bands with soft rings for younger groups.
Make it a great round
Never aim at people or animals and never place targets at face level.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
