You will need: Paper cups
Instructions: Clear space in a flat area outside. One by one, stack the paper cups as a pyramid. Work together with your friends to build the pyramid. Make the pyramid as high as you can. Cups may fall, but it’s not game over! Build until you can no longer reach the top.
Keep Up That Balloon!
Balloons aren’t only for decorations. You can play this fast-paced, competitive game with balloons!
You will need: Balloons, family and friends
Instructions:
Ask an adult for help. Blow up as many balloons as the number of players. Each player should have one balloon.
To begin the game, everyone tosses their balloon into the air. Players must tap the balloon to keep it in the air. If a player’s balloon touches the ground, they are out. The last person to have their balloon in the air wins!
Want a greater challenge with a new rule? Players should use only one hand to tap the balloon. The other hand should stay in their pocket or behind their back.
Who can keep their balloon up in the air the longest?
