Materials: Inflated balloons of various shapes and colours
- First throw one of the balloons in amongst the pupils, e.g. a red one: “It’s red/it’s a red balloon“.
- Show the children that the balloon must not touch the ground.
- The pupils call out the colour of the balloon “It’s red/it’s a red balloon“ each time it falls to them.
- Then throw in another coloured balloon, e.g. blue “It’s blue/it’s a blue balloon“.
- Now the children are passing around two balloons.
- A third balloon can be added, e.g. yellow “It’s yellow/it’s a yellow balloon.“
- Then remove one of the balloons e.g. the red one, and replace it with a green one.
- Before the end of the activity throw in all of the balloons you have in amongst the pupils and let them enjoy.
Note:
It is important to pay attention to children’s safety (remind them not to jump out of their chairs to reach a balloon). If you think it necessary it may be safer to play this game either in the gym or in the playground.
