The Ubiquitous Balloon



Balloons and summer just go together. You find balloons at the park, the zoo, parades and even restaurants. Everyone loves balloons. They make you smile when you see them bobbing colorfully in the air.

Balloons are inexpensive and can be found everywhere. They are also great for all kinds activities. In a previous post we talked about water balloon catch which is fun for the whole family.

Another great balloon activity is balloon volleyball. Volleyball is fun to play but for little kids it’s not so easy as the ball can bend a finger back or sometimes hit them in the face. Balloon volleyball is awesome as you use an air-inflated balloon that won’t cause any injuries. You don’t really even need a net! Just find a family member or friend and keep hitting the balloon to each other to keep it in the air. Keep score to see who is the better hitter. Since the hits are not always accurate, you’ll have fun running around trying to hit the balloon before it hits the ground.

So blow up a balloon, find a friend and hit until you’re laughing so hard you can’t play anymore!
