A Fun Game To Play With The Rubber Band Racers Kit

A fun game you can play with a Rubber Band Racers kit is a "drag race" challenge. Set up a straight track with a finish line at the end. Players line up their creations at the starting line and race to see who can cross the finish line first. The player with the fastest time wins! You can also add in variations such as adding obstacles along the track or having players race in heats to determine a final winner.

I recently purchased the Rubber Band Racers and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. These little racers are so much fun to play with and they offer hours of entertainment. The build design is clever and the rubber band propulsion system for each design works surprisingly well. Overall, I highly recommend the Rubber Band Racers to anyone looking for a fun and unique science toy.
