Water Balloon Toss


Students have a water balloon each, the aim is to throw the balloon up in the air and catch as many times as they can before it pops. The person with the most completed catches wins,

For more of a challenge, get the students to throw the water balloon up ,then clap as many times as they can before the balloon comes down for them to catch. If they drop the balloon the claps do not count and they get wet.

A variation to this game is the students can work in pairs, the pair stand opposite each other 2 metres apart and throw the balloon back and forth to each other as many times as they can before the balloon pops. The pair with the most completed catches wins. For more of a challenge, if the pair is successfully able to make a catch they take a step back for each successful catch until they drop the balloon and it pops. The pair that is the furthest distance apart wins.
