Step-by-Step Instructions
- Distribute one balloon to each person in your group.
- Encourage people to inflate their balloons as large as possible, and write their name on it.
- Identify one or more boundaries in your playing space, indicating that all play occurs within this area.
- Ask your group to begin moving about the room, gently tapping their balloons with an open palm.
- When ready, each person is entitled to strike their balloon into the path of another in an attempt to cause the latter to cross one of the boundary lines.
- Whenever someone’s balloon is knocked out of the playing space, that person (and their balloon) is eliminated.
- At no time may a person hold or grasp their balloon to prevent it from being hit.
- Announce that each person should aim to keep their balloon in the playing space for as long as possible.
- Play continues until one final person (and their balloon) remains inside the playing space.
