Twenty years ago, it would have been difficult to find at least one girl who did not know how to play rubber. This kind of entertainment at that time was incredibly popular among children from 5 to 15 years old. The girls played rubber bands at school during recess, and in the yard with friends, and at home, pulling handy material over chairs. After some time, such fun was undeservedly forgotten, but now the game of rubber bands is becoming popular again.
The rules of the children's game "Rezinochka"
Like everything ingenious, the rules of the rubber band game are very simple. For this fun you will need a piece of elastic band for clothes 2-4 meters long and more than 3 people in the game. The rubber band is tied, forming a closed loop, and stretched on the legs of two players. Then the third participant begins to jump over it.
This option is also possible when not three, but four people play, that is, in pairs. In this case, the second partner can perform the exercise instead of the player who made the mistake.
During the game, the rubber band is raised on the legs higher and higher each time. First, it takes the initial position, i.e. at ankle level. Its highest position, the most difficult for jumping, is on the belt.
After correct execution of the exercises at the initial level, the player repeats them already at the next one. If he makes a mistake during the exercise, his turn goes to the next player. In this case, the oversight takes place inside the rubber band contour.
Children's game "Rubber band": exercise options
"Birch". Starting position: standing sideways to the elastic. Jump over first over one half of it, and then over the other. Do this in such a way that the rubber band stays between your legs. Jump out for her.
"Pedestrians". Starting position: standing facing the elastic. Jump onto it so that you press each half to the ground with your foot. Then switch legs.
"Steps". Starting position: standing facing the elastic. Jump onto the middle half of the elastic so that one of your legs is underneath it, and the other is pressing it to the ground. Jump over to the other half of the rubber band, while changing the position of your legs. Jump out of the contour and repeat the exercise on the other side.
"Bow". Starting position: standing facing the elastic. Jump onto the middle half of the elastic so that one of your legs is underneath it, and the other is pressing it to the ground. Further, without releasing the elastic, jump to the other half, while placing your legs symmetrically. Jump out of the rubber band.
"Handkerchief". Starting position: standing facing the elastic. Jump to the far half of the elastic, keeping both feet flat on the ground. In this case, the near half should catch on your legs. Jump out of the rubber band. In another version of this game, you do not need to jump, but jump over the far half of the rubber band.
The set of exercises, as well as the sequence of their implementation in different versions of the rubber band game, can differ significantly.
"Sweetie". Starting position: inside a twisted gum-like candy wrapper. Jump, letting the rubber band spin, and land with your feet on both halves of it.
There can be many options for different exercises. Additional, more difficult levels can also be introduced, when the elastic is pulled at the height of the neck and armpits. Having learned to play rubber at the simplest level, the child will be able to freely express his imagination, coming up with new interesting exercises. In addition to health benefits and weight loss, playing rubber bands can be a great way to take your mind off the internet and make new friends.
