Who said exercise can’t be fun?! Try playing tabletop bowling with a balloon and you will see how quickly the smiles and laughs come to the faces of those who play…and watch!
Here’s what you need:
-
6 plastic bowling pins/empty plastic soda bottles
-
4 badminton rackets/fly swatters/pool noodles/really anything you could move a balloon with
-
1 balloon (on the largish side, if possible)
-
1 long table
-
Seating for 4
Here’s how to play:
-
Set the pins up along both ends of the table, 3 on each side.
-
Seat 2 people at both ends of the table. One end of the table is team 1, and the other is team 2.
-
The object of the game is for each team to try and knock the opposite team’s pins down by hitting the balloon with their “rackets”.
-
At the same time, they’re also trying to stop the opposing team from knocking down their pins, by swatting the balloon away.
Optional – You may reset the pins every time someone knocks one down or leave as is and whichever team knocks all 3 pins down, wins!
