🎲

****Group:** 8+ · ****Where:** Indoors or outdoors · ****Materials:** balloons, string · ****Skills:** speed, reaction

An action game that can be a whole lot of fun. It’s every player for themselves. Every player gets a balloon tied to their ankle with a piece of string. On the starting signal, they have to stomp on each other’s balloons. When a player has no balloon left, they’re out. The last player standing wins.

💡

****Variation without balloons:** In “Clothespin Chase,” every player gets three clothespins clipped to the hem of their T-shirt instead of a balloon. The goal is to steal clothespins from the others. Once you have none left, you’re out. The winner is the one with the most clothespins.
