2. What do you need to play the “rubber band game”?
 To play you need an a rubber band at least four meters long, with the edges
linked.

3. How many players?
 To play the game you need at least three players. Two of them have to hold taut
rubber band and the third plays.
Where can you play?
 You can play inside and outside. All you need is some available space that it
does not obstruct anyone and where you can make noise.

4. What are the rules?
 Two players hold the rubber band stretched between their legs while a third
player performs the predetermined sequence from the game that we’ll list.

5.  Each child chooses the name of a fruit and the first player begins to sing a
nursery rhyme. In the nursery rhyme are repeated names of fruits chosed by
children and it ends with the word coffee.
 For Ex. – In case of 5 players - 5 fruits. The song can be: apple, orange,
strawberry, lemon, tangerine, coffee.

6.  After the sequence, the game may continue repeating all the parts, but
the rubber band has to be positioned at different heights, starting from
the ankles, the knees, the thighs, the hips, the armpits and finally to the
neck. Obviously, the more rubber band is high the more difficult is to
conclude the sequences correctly.
 Once the first player has finished its
sequence, or has made a mistake, the
turn passes to the next player and the
next time he will have to repeat the
sequence that was wrong before
continuing.

7.  The game starts with a sequence of hops that the player makes
positioning itself with one foot inside the elastic and one out.
