You will need:
- a good quality
balloon for each pair of children
- extra balloons
just in case!
- a medium to
large-sized play space
What to do:
- encourage
children to find a friend (or
partner)
- when they
have found someone to play with, tell them that they are going to
get a balloon to share with each other
- pass out balloons
and encouraage children to try and hit the balloon in the air and
not let it touch on the ground
- then try hitting
the balloon with only elbows and knees
- next try it
with noses, etc.
- encourage
children to try and keep their balloon up while sitting on the floor
- hold balloon
between tummies or backs and walk around
- hold balloon
betweeen heads and move around
- game continues
until children lose interest or become tired
