Elastics

Jump up and Push Play with this kiwi favourite - test your skills and try to go higher than your friends!

Stuff you'll need to get started:

A piece of elastic about 2 metres long or some of Mum's old pantyhose (be sure to ask her first!)

How to play:

Knot the ends of the elastic together then stretch it between two friends (two chairs will also work). Start with the elastics around the ankles.

Make up a routine, then jump in and out of the elastics and from side to side. 

After you've completed your routine at the lowest height, move the elastics up and keep going until you can't jump any higher! Try these different levels: ankles, knees,
waists, underarms.

Elastics is even more fun if you have a song or rhyme to jump to, so make up your own! Here's one to get you started:

'England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Inside, Outside, Monkey's Tails!'
