Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Balloon Hot Potato
Water balloons
water
swimming pool (optional)
Fill balloons with water, tie end. Have children gather in a circle. Carefully poke several (4-6) holes in the balloon. Children will pass the balloon around the circle, trying not to be the one holding the balloon when it runs out of water! To make it even more fun, especially if there are more than 6 children, have them pass 2-3 balloons at the same time. If you are playing near a pool or lake, the child who is holding a balloon when it empties has to jump in! Make sure to dispose of deflated balloons.
