Bright balloons are a great decoration for a room. You can make panels, bouquets, animal figurines from them. But the balls can also turn into sports equipment, with which you can hold fun contests and competitions.
Badminton with balloons
This competition requires at least a couple of players. Each holds a long ball, and a round one is used as a shuttlecock. The rules are exactly the same as for the game of badminton - you need to beat off the "shuttlecock" and not let it fall to the ground. You can play until the first fall, but nothing prevents you from counting points. For example, for each fall, the opponent is awarded a point. The first to score 5-10-15 points will win. Instead of long balls, you can also use regular badminton rackets.
Bunny
This relay is a lot of fun if there are a lot of participants. Divide them into two teams. Map out the starting line and location for each competitor to reach, and then turn back. You can put 2 small hoops in place of turning, and in the middle of each - a pin, flag, etc. The participant must jump to the turn with the ball sandwiched between the legs. The first athlete gets to the hoop, takes the flag, returns to the team and passes the flag to the next. He must jump to the hoop and put the flag down. The first team to complete the task wins. Penalty points can be awarded for a dropped ball or for the fact that someone did not take or put a flag in place.
Billiards on the carpet
For this game, you will need long and round balls according to the number of participants. Place a gate on the court or in the hall (it can be just a couple of cubes). Arrange the participants in one line and ask each to choose a collar for themselves. The task is to drive a round ball into them using a long one.
Caterpillar
For this relay you need a lot of identical balls. Divide the participants into 2 teams, distribute balls to them. Each ball is clamped by 2 participants - one with their backs, the other with their stomachs. The team must go to the turn and return. The winner is the one that completes the task faster and does not lose the balls.
Muzzle
For this game, you will also need multi-colored tape and scissors. Tie 2 identical round balls to the backs of the chairs. The task for the participants is to cut out the eyes, nose, mouth from the tape and stick them on the ball so that you get a face. Two participants can compete, but nothing prevents this competition from being held in the form of a relay - one participant cuts out his eyes, the second sticks them on, the third cuts out his nose, etc. The task can be complicated by instructing the children to put a handkerchief on their "head".
Handles, legs, cucumber
You can collect little people from the balls. You need 2 large balloons, 2 smaller round balloons and 8 long ones, as well as duct tape. If there are only two participants, each collects his own little man - a smaller ball and 4 long ones are glued to the large ball. You can arrange a relay race, when one participant attaches the head, the second - the arm, the third - the leg. The team that collects the figurine faster and more accurately wins.
