How to Play Balloon Popping Game

Balloon popping requires a little bit of preparation beforehand. The basic logic behind using darts to pop the balloons is, they have sharp metal points that are capable of piercing through the balloons. You can also use balloon popping guns available in sports and toy shops for the same purpose. Here goes the balloon popping game for kids:

• Purchase two large packets of balloon. Blow them with the help of an air pump or take help from your family and friends to reduce the exhaustion of blowing so many balloons.
• Hang the balloons in rows or you can frame different type shapes with all the balloons. First secure the balloons on a cardboard with the help of a tape. Then fix the board on the wall so that it doesn't fall.
• Keep the darts ready or load the popping gun with the fake bullets provided along with it. Make sure that the darts do not puncture the wall and for this reason the cardboard is used.
• You can give a demonstration of the game to your kids. Stand at a distance of 6-9 feet and throw the dart aiming straight at the balloon.
• Each kid will be given three chances so that they can repeat in case they fail in the first two. Call them one by one and allow them to pop the balloons.
• You can repeat the same with three rounds for deciding the winner. Make sure you keep an eye on the maximum number of balloons popped by kids so that the prize is handed over to the one deserving it.
• Popping water balloons is probably more interesting because kids are genuinely fascinated by water. Fill the balloons with water and tie them tightly. The next steps are the same. However, the poodles will be a little messy if you are organizing it indoors.
• Prizes could be distributed in two ways. The first technique is quite common that implies giving prize to the kid who has popped maximum number of balloons in all the rounds.
• The second option is perhaps more entertaining. Number the balloons and the prizes. For example, if your kid has popped the balloon marked as number 2, then he will get the prize tagged with the numeral 2. This way they win a prize every time they pop a balloon.

I hope you have found the steps and idea of playing balloon popping game with darts interesting and enjoyable. I'm sure when you have invited kids at your place, you would definitely love to see them enjoying and making merry with each other. Make sure the darts do not loiter around after the game is over.
