Find Time For...Rubber Band Games
On Labor Day Weekend, it is normal to reflect on things like the economy and the job market. This Monday, whether we pack up and donate extra belongings, go shopping, or gather with friends and family, we say goodbye to summer and welcome the approaching fall, thankful for our many blessings.

Even with all that we pack into a weekend, Labor Day would not be the same without a few fun and games. Although you may not realize it, rubber bands give us a lot of interesting options. So, be sure to find time for a few playtime activities.
Is it raining where you are? Take a look at the board games around your house, which most likely have a rubber band somewhere inside the box or even around the box, holding it together.
Weather good where you are? How about a game of “shoot the rubber band.” It’s easy to play. Simply stack several cups or cans into a triangle (like you see in our picture). Grab a few rubber bands and have each player take turns shooting them. For even more thrills, give each player a time limit.
Even on Labor Day, rubber bands bring an element of excitement to our lives -- limited only by our ability to have fun.
This holiday weekend, grab a few friends, a few rubber bands, and enjoy! While you are at it, be sure to take a moment to comment on our blog.

I love Rubber bands they are fun from playing super paper football to launching various things. lol
If you want to get really tricky with the stacked cans you can rubber band them together so nobody can knock them over. It would be like recreating the rigged carnival games in your home.
My kids got to go see the biggest rubber band ball ever, in Gatlinburg a few weeks ago - I will have to find the picture. TO
My 6 year old and I are using rubber bands to decorate a few Christmas presents we are making. We took small wooden boxes and painted them. then I took very small nails and hammered them into the top to make a star design. My 6 year old took small rubber bands and stretched them across the nails in a star pattern until all the nails were covered but the head. This made a cute design and a handy rubber band holder then we filled the box with pens and post its.

Rubberbands are always good for playing.
