This past weekend we traveled to Balloon Island. Marty helped the islanders learn that they could be happy no matter what because God loves them.
Here are some fun balloon games you can play at home with your child on your very own Balloon Island. These are also great games to play as a whole family or with your child's friends. The more the merrier!

Floating Balloons
Blow up one balloon/person. If your child/ren want let them blow up the balloons themselves. Offer your help tying each one securely. The object of this game is to hit the balloons up into the air and keep them afloat for the longest period of time.
You can make it more challenging by adding rules such as: everyone must stay seated or everyone must hop on one foot.
Balloon Hunt
Fill 10 balloons with two to four beads each and hide the filled balloons around the house or yard. Have your child go on a hunt for the balloons. They must find as many balloons as they can, pop them, and return with their beads.
Balloon Bulge
Blow up about 10-15 balloons and place them on the floor. Set the timer to 2 minutes or use a fun song. As long as the timer is going or the music is playing you and are your child are to pick up and hold as many balloons as possible. You must pick up the balloons all by themselves without help, put them in your clothes, between your legs, under your arms, between your teeth, etc. Each person takes a turn while the others watch and laugh themselves silly! The person who holds the most balloons when their time is up is the winner.
