4 Balloon Games to Play With Kids

1 pack of balloons, hours of entertainment

Looking to fill some time? Order a pack of balloons (we like this one), take some deep breaths and let the games begin…

• Name Pop. Write each person’s name on a balloon (or have each child write 5 names on 5 different balloons). Toss the balloons in the center of a room. Set a timer for 30 seconds. Have kids stomp & pop as many balloons as they can. When time is up, the players whose balloons were popped are out. The remaining players can stomp again for 20 seconds. Keep playing for short intervals until only one balloon remains.

• Surprise Pop. Blow a bunch of balloons, filling some with treats like lollipops, notes and toys. Let the kids pop the balloons to retrieve their surprises

• Balloon Tennis. Create tennis rackets with paper plates and popsicle sticks. Clear a large space, blow up a balloon and let the games begin.

• Keep it in the Air. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Blow up a balloon, define your area and toss back and forth without letting it touch the ground. Tips to make the game harder - stand on one foot or only use one hand.
