Steps

Get Ready!

Blow up your balloon and tie it securely. Clear some space - move any breakable items out of the way. Ready to move?

Let's Play

Toss your balloon in the air. Now the fun begins! Use any part of your body to keep the balloon from touching the ground. Try hands, elbows, knees, or even your head! Count how many hits you can get before it lands. Fun Tips: - Make it harder by only using one hand - Try sitting down - can you still keep it up? - Play with a partner and count your hits together - Add more balloons for extra challenge - Make up silly rules like "only elbows allowed!" - Time how long you can keep it up
