Balloon Drag Race

by Kenny W
(Weatherford Texas)

Boys against the girls relay race or one boy against one girl race! Choose out 4-6 kids for each team. Blow up one balloon for each kid or just one for each team and let them reuse the balloon.
Don’t blow up the balloon too big; more of a smaller balloon will work better. Lay out a long straight drag strip, with boys and girls racing side by side.
With boys and girls on hands and knees, they will, on your command, blow their balloon with their mouth as fast as they can down the drag strip; NO HANDS. Now you can do this with first one to finish line wins, and the next two get to go, or once at the finish line, you pick up your balloon and race back to the group and the next two kids go. If you choose relay, of course, first team to finish wins!!
