This balloon team-building game creates an ideal environment for groups to develop coordination and trust. Boop invites partners to work cooperatively while exploring creative movement and problem-solving challenges. This fun group game naturally energises participants as they attempt to keep their balloon airborne using different body parts. As a large group activity, it’s particularly effective at warming up participants and creating an atmosphere of playful engagement. Perfect for all ages and abilities.

Boop – Balloon Team-Building Game
  1. Form small groups of 2 to 4 people.
  2. Distribute one balloon to each group, and ask them to inflate it to approx 20 to 25 cm.
  3. Holding hands at all times, each group may bump the balloon into the air aiming to keep it aloft for as long as possible.
  4. After warming up, announce a series of anatomical parts of the body that may only be used to keep the balloon aloft, eg arms, heads, feet, knees, etc.
  5. As a final challenge, ask each group to bump their balloon into the air and use only their breath (no body parts) to keep their balloon aloft.
  6. Swap partners or try a variation.
