Balloon Pop Dance

TITLE: Balloon Pop Dance
CATEGORY: Action, for 10+ people, aged 4th grade & up
MATERIALS: Balloons, rubberbands

This is an exciting, fast-paced balloon massacre that will tire out your most energetic members!

This game is simple. Inflate enough balloons so each person has two. Tie a rubberband to each balloon (around the knot where you tied the balloon off), and then have each person put one balloon/rubberband around each ankle. The goal is to pop everyone else's balloons by stepping on them, while not getting yours popped. Once both of your balloons have popped, you're out and can't step on anyone else's balloons. Last person with a balloon wins!

TIPS:
-You'll need a little bit of open space, though a medium-sized room works well too. If you're outside, make sure to set boundaries.
-As people get eliminated, have them form a circle around the remaining players. As the number of players shrinks, shrink the circle around them so the players can't get away from each other.
-It's best to have all the balloons inflated and tied to rubberbands ahead of time. Have all the balloons inflated to the same size, and make sure the rubberbands are tied onto the balloon tight so they don't come off during the game. You can tell whose rubberband wasn't tied well when you see balloons floating up in the air. Skinny rubberbands work better than thick ones.
-Make sure everyone keeps their balloons low on their ankles. No having your balloon at your knees!
-Have everyone help pick up balloon pieces off the ground once your done!
