Rubber bands had been very useful and meaningful for me and my peers, when I was around in my primary school in the 80s. We used every rubber band for our little memory game called the 'zero-point'. Tying up single rubber bands together and formed into a long one and we hopped and jumped over it at different heights and every passing goal, we shouted 'zero-point'.
