Balloon Pop Relay

Get ready

1. Place one chair per team about 20 feet from the start line.
2. Blow up enough balloons for every player. Give each team their pile at the start line.
3. Split kids into teams and line them up.

How to play

1. On "Go," the first player grabs a balloon and runs to the chair.
2. Put the balloon on the chair and sit on it until it pops.
3. Run back and tag the next player in line.
4. If the balloon floats away, chase it down and try again.
5. The first team to pop all their balloons wins.

Tips & variations

• Check for latex allergies first. Use latex-free balloons if needed.
• Give a heads-up to kids who don't like loud noises. They can be the team cheerleader or balloon handler.
• Have a trash bag ready for popped pieces so little ones don't put them in their mouths.
