Children's Activities and Games With Balloons

Kids love balloons. There are a lot of games, crafts and even some science that can be done with balloons. Here are a few simple examples to try.

Hot Potato - This simple game begins with one round balloon and all of the participants sitting in a circle. You can sit around a table or on the floor. Set a timer for three minutes and bat the balloon to each other, not letting it touch the ground until the timer goes off. Now add another balloon and reset the timer. Keep adding a balloon until there is at least one balloon for each player and try to keep them all off the floor until time is up. This is a fun indoor game for any age group.
