Balloon relay race

This game is fun for indoor and outdoor parties – just make sure you have a good stash of balloons before you begin just in case any of them unexpectedly pop in the rush of the game!

What you need:

• Packet of balloons

Activity:

Instruct the children to stand in two single-file lines, facing forward.

Place a balloon between the knees of the first child in each line.

When the race starts, the first child on each team turns to face the next person in line.

The second child must grasp the balloon with his or her knees and turn to pass it on to the third person, and so on.

If the balloon falls to the ground, the team must start over. The first team to successfully pass the balloon down the line wins!
