Angry Penguins

Supplies:

  1. non-helium balloons

Set-up:

Blow up several balloons beforehand.  You will need one balloon per every 4-6 kids, and may want to blow up extra in case some get popped.

How to Play:

Divide the group into teams of 4-6 and have them link arms. One player on the team faces inside the circle, the other players face outside the circle. In the middle of the team on the floor by their feet is a balloon. AKA the "penguin egg". The object is to pop the balloons of other teams using only your feet, while also protecting your own balloon from being popped. They also must keep their arms linked. Your balloon does not have to stay in your team's circle (but it is safer there). Once a team's balloon is popped, they're out. Last team standing wins.

 

Pro tips:

  1. Have one leader sit out of the game so that they can keep an eye on any team that breaks their linked arms. Disqualify this team. Tell teams ahead of time they'll be disqualified if someone stops linking arms.
