BALLONS AGLOW

Question. What do you do with about 60 kids to keep them entertained during a lull?

Answer. Pinterest and I combined forces to achieve this fabulous result. Stick a glowing glow stick (wow, that's fun to say) inside a balloon and blow the balloon up for big fun.

I did about 25 balloons and randomly tossed them about the room. Then I turned out the lights and waited for the kids (build it and they will come).

At first, I just turned the kids loose but quickly discovered they needed some guidance. We then rounded them up and played several games including "keep the balloon in the air" and "over under" and "you can only use your feet to keep it in the air" and "you must stay on your tush and keep it in the air". Remember, these games are all done in the dark with glowing balloons (no kidding, they really do glow and they glow the color of the balloon .

Mission accomplished. Those kids loved it. Pinterest and I are awesome.
