Soap Bubble Contest
Sometimes a bubble-blowing session can be just the thing -
especially on a rainy day! We have lots of ideas here, including one for turning
bubble blowing into a team event.
Make up some bubble mixture and
find a variety of implements that can be used to blow bubbles - perhaps a
traditional bubble wand, a drinking straw, or even a coat hanger bent into
shape!
Have a contest! Some suggestions are:
- Who can blow the biggest bubble?
- Who can blow the most bubbles in a space of time?
- Who can have the most bubbles in the air at one time?
- Whose bubble stays in the air for the longest?
- Whose bubble pops first?
- Whose bubble pops last?
Of course, one child on their own can still have fun with
bubbles. Try timing your bubbles to see which lasts longest, or catching your
bubbles in a plastic cup, or on your hand. Blow bubbles in the garden and see
how far they travel, and experiment to see how many you can keep going at once.
Team game for parties:
Provide each child with a bubble blowing wand (perhaps they
could make their own?) and prepare two basins of
bubble mixture for the game.
Divide the company into two sides, an even number in each. Stretch a cord or
rope at a medium height across the middle of the room. Two children, one from
each side, play at a time. Each stands on his side, blows a bubble, and then
gently encourages it by blowing toward the opposite side, and over the rope if
he can. If it goes over the rope without breaking, a point is scored for that
team.
Make sure that someone keeps score, and declare a winner after
a certain amount of time, or when each child has had one or two goes.
