The Best
for Kids Parties
Balloon games and parties go together like jelly and ice-cream, but there are so many more ways to have fun with balloons than just using them as decorations. We’ve got some of the best balloon games for kids parties right here! Raspberries This is a great game for older children, but it might make them dizzy! Set up a start and finish line and hand each child a non-inflated balloon. The object of this game is to be the first to get your balloon over the finish line by repeatedly blowing it up and letting it go. Inflate your balloon and release it in the direction of the finish line (the balloon will make a fun raspberry sound as it deflates!). Wherever the balloon lands is your new starting point. Inflate and release the balloon again and again until someone’s balloon makes it over the finish line! This one is best played outdoors.
Get stuffed! For this balloon game you will need • 2 oversized tracksuit pants • 2 oversized t-shirts
• lots of deflated balloons of various shapes and sizes Divide your party people into two groups and get each group to select a volunteer to “get stuffed”. The volunteer must put on the tracksuit pants and t-shirt over their own clothes. The other members of the team then inflate as many balloons as they can and stuff them into the volunteer’s pants and shirt before the buzzer sounds. The winning team is the one whose volunteer has the most inflated balloons in their clothing or looks the funniest!
