Sausages

Sausages

Here is an unusual balloon game, which provides lots of noisy fun. Great for mixed age groups too.

Age: 6+

You will need:

A sausage-shaped balloon for each team

How to play:

Split the children into teams of at least 4 and line them up. Give the first person in each team a sausage balloon which they must hold between their knees. At the signal to start they must pass it down their row as quickly as possible, person to person, knees to knees! Hands must not be used at all. If a balloon is dropped it must be picked up between the knees, and if it is popped that team starts again with another balloon at the beginning again.

Try to mix up the heights of people in each row – it makes the game even more fun!
