Balloon Ping Pong


I had 4 young boys in the house today so needed something to help them burn off some energy. We decided to give Balloon Ping Pong a try. I use the term "ping pong" very very lightly. There was actually no pinging or ponging involved.

It took me about 2 minutes to duct tape some Popsicle sticks to paper plates and blow up a couple of balloons and we were good to go.

Instead we made up different scenarios and played "Don't Let the Balloon Touch the Ground". First the ground was hot lava and we had to keep the balloon from touching it. Then we were in the sea and sharks and giant squids were trying to get our balloons and we had to save them. There was lots of running around and yelling involved. Shocking, with little boys, I know.

All in all a cheap, easy, quick activity to use up some pent up energy on a cold winter day!
