Balloon Propulsion Debrief – Balloon Reflection Activity
- Creatively divide your group into pairs.
- Provide each person with an inflated balloon.
- Each person faces their partner about 2 to 3 metres apart.
- Demonstrate the ‘balloon propulsion’ technique, eg hold the balloon gently in one hand and pull the tied tail back with the other hand then release, propelling the balloon forward.
- Partners propel their balloons at the same time, aiming to have their balloons collide or connect.
- When balloons collide, invite each person to share a response with their partner to a question you have posed to your group.
- Repeat the process with more questions or new partners.
