Ballen games

First, you need to make a track with either rope, white powder or chalk and make four tracks if there are four teams. These tracks need to be of a considerable length. Now take the balloons and put a wrapped bubblegum in each before you inflate and fasten them. You can add candies or pennies to the balloons for extra rewards. Put each of them at the opposite end of the tracks. The kids will need to go in turns for this, with each kid from each team competing.

The first set of players will need to crawl to the balloons, burst them, chew the bubblegums and blow balloons that way and then return to the starting point for the next member to be tagged and put onto the task. The victory is for the team that manages to finish first. Take a drinking straw, a balloon and a six feet long yarn piece. Next, arrange for some tape, a pair of scissors and a couple of chairs.

Maintaining a six feet distance, place the chairs facing each other and tie the string to one end of the chair. Take the drinking straw and put it through the string and fasten the other end to the other chair. Apply sticking tape to the straw, just a couple of small cut outs, at a distance of one inch. Here comes the balloon part of this interesting experiment. Once you have inflated the balloon, keep it unknotted, only fastened with your fingers. Now, one kid will need to carry this balloon to the straw, and another attach it to the tape.

Pulling the straw to the end of the string along with the balloon, stop until the unfastened side of the balloon can touch the chair. You can guess what happens next. Once you let the balloon loose, it carries the straw with it to the other end. To make it more interesting, you can have the kids attach small appendages to the straws to give them the appearance of rockets and increase the distance of the chairs a bit more.

If you have evenly placed trees on your lawn, the same game can be played outdoors and with tapes on the two sides to attach two balloons instead of one for that extra push. All you require is a lot of big balloons and a lot of small-sized glow sticks. Take a glow stick and a balloon and shake the glow stick till it glows brightly. You can either blow the balloon to full size and then insert the glow stick in it, or you can insert the glow stick before you blow the balloon.

Once the kids have done this, you can shut the lights and let the kids see the magic, or you can ask them to be a bit more crafty and cover or color the balloons with differently shaped tape and paper. This way when the lights go off, the balloons will display glowing shapes. For a better effect, black paper or black tape can be used for making the shapes. The glowing effect will thus be around the shapes and will give off an inverted feel.

Additionally, if you have a pool in your backyard, you can make small boats with cardboard and fasten the balloons to the boats with a string and set them off in the pool to float. You can light up the sky with your colorful and crafty balloons by filling them up with helium instead and instead of boats, making small cardboard boxes and you have your very own armada of glowing balloons! A hovercraft of course. This is a game for two to half a dozen people, but you can encourage more to join.

Another super fun activity with water balloons is to use or make targets. Sometimes, my boys create special targets out of cardboard or scraps of wood.
