EVENT CALENDAR

Braaaaaaack-Whff


Time Allowance: 20 Minutes
Equipment Needed: Everyone Gets a Balloon (The balloons should be purchased in as many different colors as possible. Also, buy decent sized balloons, small ones don't remain aloft very long or provide enough action for these gaines.)


Steps

1. Ask everyone to stand inside the "key" at the end of a basketball court (or fabricate your own boundary area), and blow up their balloons just short of popping. (Have some spare balloons available.)

2. Don‚t tie the balloon's neck, just hold on and get together with other folks who have the same color balloon as yours.

3. One player, representing one team‚s color (you can have as many teams as you have colored balloons) and standing within the circle area, lets go of his/her balloon, allowing it to jet willy-filly about.

4. As the limp projectile comes to rest, another team member of the same color advances to that point with filled balloon and releases the rubber missile in an attempt to further their team‚s distance from the circle‚s perimeter.

5. This sequence continues until all the balloons have been released. The team color champion is, of course, that final balloon which is the furthest from the circle. (Have a 50 foot tape measure on hand for disputed distances.)
