A no injury slingshot that can be used as a childrens party game- What a Find!!
I’d seen references to foam slingshot rockets in several places relative to a Star Wars or Space Alien party theme, but didn’t quite know what they were talking about, so I did a little research and found these.
Just in case you’re having the same problem I did figuring these babies out, that cord at the top in the picture is a rubber band that goes on the end of the ‘trigger finger’. The rocket then gets pulled back and launched- just like shooting a rubber band. Piece of cake and oh- so much fun for the kids!
Yes- they ARE perfect for any space themed party, but also for just about any outdoor party and/or any party with young boys. Just use a marker to put everybody’s name on their rocket and let them go at it.
Make it into a contest- the longest launch wins a small prize. Put out a target on the grass and have a closest contest for another small prize.
Schedule this rocket game at the end of your party and make the rocket your take-home party favor. At about 25 cents each (as of this writing, at Amazon) that’s a super cheap party favor that doubles as a birthday party game. What more could you want!

This is one of those simple and inexpensive childrens party games that’s fun AND adaptable to various kids party themes.
