Simple, fun game that seems to have a lot of different names.
- Backyard Balloon Battle
- Balloon Tag
- Dinosaur Balloon Stomp
Game:
You will need one or a couple of small balloons for everybody playing and a way to attach them to their ankles. Elastic bands or bits of ribbon.
Players have to burst the balloons of other players by stamping on them. The last person to have a balloon left unpopped wins. When ready, let the chaos commence 🙂
This version is reliant on players stomping on each other’s balloons to burst them. An alternative idea is to attach balloons around the waist so they sit on the back at the waistline and popped using hands. Although considering how hard balloons can be to pop, this may be harder than stomping on them.
I’ve avoided suggesting this for younger children as there may be a few who don’t like balloons or the sound of them being popped.
Team?
You could consider turning this into a team game, with the team with the most balloons unpopped at the end winning.
Ecological impact
If you want to be eco friendly, consider buying biodegradable balloons.
