Warm up a group with a bit of fun whilst thinking


Group Size


Materials

Skewers Balloons

Set Up

Inflate balloons to a diameter 2 inches smaller than the length of the skewers

Directions

Can be done as individuals or as small teams.

The idea is to push the skewer through the balloon so that it passes through the centre of the balloon and out the other side. They are not allowed to put anything on the balloon or skewer (no sticky tape) and they are not allowed to deflate the balloon, pierce it then reinflate the balloon.

Debrief

There are two thick spots on the balloon, one at the neck and one opposite at the top of the balloon. Gently push the skewer through the neck and then gently push it out through the thick spot on the top of the balloon. Ta Da, a Balloon kebab!
