Balloon Tap Race

SKILL FOCUS

Fine Motor, Teamwork

GROUP SIZE

10 or more

EQUIPMENT

2 large balloons

SETUP

Place your students on two teams.  Have each team create a large circle and give each team a large balloon filled with air.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Give 1 child on each team a balloon.  On ‘go’ this child must tap the balloon to the child next to them.

2. The new child with the balloon must tap it to the child next to them. Allow them to tap as many times as they would like as long as they do not catch it or allow it to hit the ground.

3. Each child must tap it to the child next to them until it gets back to the first child. The first team to accomplish this wins the race.

4. Any time it hits the ground, the team must start over.

Make it Easier: 

Allow younger children to tap it as many times as they would like.

Make it Harder:

For the older children, only allow them 1 tap to get it to the child next to them.
