Balloon Games

What's more suitable for summer than balloon games? With or without water, children are always happy to play with balloons. Here are some summer party games that your children will love.

I Get It - I'm Out

This is a team game and therefore suitable for running all the children participating in the party.

To play the game have the children sit in a circle. Start playing background music. When the music stops, the child who is holding the balloon has to leave the game. Keep playing this way. The last child that will remain is the winner.

Balloon Race

This is a competitive game between two groups.

• Divide the children into two groups.
• Arrange the children in a line.
• In front of each group at a distance of about 10 meters place a large bucket with balloons in it.
• The first child in each line should run to the bucket to take a balloon. Then he has to run back to his group and put the balloon on the ground.
• Once he put the balloon down, the next child in line should run to take a balloon.
• The game continues this way until the final whistle.
• After the final whistle, count the balloons of each group.
• The group that gathered the largest number of balloons is the winner.

Throwing Water Balloons

This is another competitive game between two groups.

• Divide the children into two groups.
• Place two large buckets for each group; one bucket filled with water balloons next to the group and one empty bucket 3 meters away from the group.
• In turns, each child should take a balloon from the bucket and throw it into the empty one.
• A precise shot into the bucket gives the team one point.
• The group that accumulates the most points within the time allotted is the winner.

Games for Pairs

Your summer party games can also be in pairs.

Collecting Objects
