Team Balloon Pop
Much loved by all ages, from little kids to adults, this team
game is great fun and very noisy! It is good for a mixed age party and enjoyed
by teenagers too.
Age: 6+
You will need:
One blown-up balloon per party-goer (and a few spares)
How to play:
Divide your party into teams and line the teams up at one end
of the room. Place a balloon for each team at the other end of the room. On your
signal, the first player from each team runs to their balloon and tries to pop
it by sitting on it. As soon as it pops, they run back to join their team and
you place another balloon ready for the next player. The first team to pop all
their balloons wins.
Hints:
If you can control this game somewhat by keeping an eye on who
will be popping the balloon next and giving a sausage-shaped balloon to the more
experienced players! If you want to ensure that all teams get a fair chance, you
could put all the balloons in a central location and allow each player to choose
the balloon they pop.
You can add an obstacle course element to the game by making
each player negotiate various obstacles before they reach their balloon.
Make the game more exciting by making players roll a die (or
two) before popping their balloon. They must roll a 6 (or a double) before they
are allowed to try to pop the balloon.
Add to the fun and chaos by inserting a nursery rhyme forfeit
inside each balloon (see Balloon Pop for how to do
this). As each player pops their balloon, they must find which nursery rhyme
they must sing before the next player has their turn. If you have 3 or even 4
teams playing it can get very funny: some players will be bouncing about on
their bottoms trying to pop balloons, others will be standing solemnly trying to
sing a nursery rhyme as quickly as possible, and others will be frantically
running!
