Youth Ministry Games : Shoot-Out!

The distance (5-10 feet) ensured no one was hurt, each side had plenty of ammo using the incoming bands, everybody participated (low skill level), you can't hurt anything in a room with a rubber band (we meet in our sanctuary!).

How do you get all the bands picked up in 1 minute? Just give a "dingdong" prize to the person who picks up the most bands in the next minute. They scrambled like crazy for the brown paper bag with a bow on it (funky new kind of peanut butter my wife found at the store-$1.50). Have the kids help put the chairs back and your done.

ps. Sell the rubber bands to your church secretary for full refund of game cost. Just an idea, I'll never use all my rubber bands, ha.

One of the kids mentioned paint ball. I don't think so, Tim.
