Balloon Twister

• Balloons galore!
• Markers

Make sure to have enough balloons for at least 1 per group of 3. Have paper and a pen/pencil for each group. Participants hit the balloon in the air with the correct body part.

1. Participants will get into groups of 2-3.
2. Each group will get a balloon (they can blow up their own balloon, or they can already be blown up)
3. Each group will write down the sequence and body parts they have to use to hit their balloon in the air.
4. The number of hits is up to the leader. Examples of body parts to use are: head, right hand, left hand, right elbow, left elbow, nose, right knee, left knee, right foot, left foot, right heel, left heel, right shoulder, left shoulder, and any others you choose to add to the list.
   
   - To make it easier, don’t specify right or left, just write “hand” or “foot”, and so on. Groups write their own sequence of 10 or so hits. 
   
   
5. One participant will start and do the first hit of the sequence. In the example above, they would hit the balloon with their right hand.
6. The next participant will go and hit the balloon with their right hand.
7. The first participant will go again and do the first two hits (right hand and then left hand).
8. If the balloon touches the ground at any point during the sequence or a participant uses the wrong body part, then that participant cannot move onto the next hit of the sequence on their next turn; they have to redo the same sequence. 
9. As they get to more hits, have a group member read out the sequence to them during their hits (optional).
10. Continue until one (or all) participants have completed the full sequence!
