Fun, Educational Activities For Parents and Children - The times spent with your family and the people you love are precious and irreplaceable. Make tonight a special memory and learn something together!
All you need is a balloon, a large space, preferably indoors, and any number of players. Inflate the balloon with air (blow it up) and then tap the balloon into the air. It is the goal of all the players to keep the balloon from touching any surface other than the hands (or bodies) of the players.
You can decide if touching the ceiling is okay or not--when I was a child we had a bumpy ceiling that would sometimes pop the balloon so we ruled against the ceiling. I grew up in a large family, six children all together.
This was one of our favorite games and I don’t remember any squabbling while we played!
