This version of a classic carnival game also makes a fun and great Halloween kids’ activity with bursting confetti-and-candy-filled balloons. This Halloween game is good for a home party or even the classroom – it is sure to make everyone “explode” with laughter and glee.
MATERIALS
- 4-by-5 1/2-foot piece of foam board (buy it at your local craft store)
- 2 yards of burlap or other fabric
- Duct tape
- Thirty-five 12-inch orange balloons
- Confetti
- Candy (small, thin types work best)
- Pump, for balloons (optional), joann.com
- T pins
- Green construction paper
- Pushpins (or darts for bigger kids)
HOW-TO
1. Cover foam board with burlap; secure in back with duct tape. Place flat on the ground (living room or a spacious area)
2. Fill balloons with confetti (using a funnel) and candy. Leave a few treat-free to add to the suspense.
3. Inflate the balloons (a pump makes it faster); tie off with a knot. Attach balloons to board with T pins, in a pumpkin shape. Make sure to push the T pins all the way in so that there are no “poking” accidents when your child sits on the balloon.
4. Cut a stem shape from green construction paper, and secure with T pins.
5. Put on a fun Halloween song like the “Monster Mash” and have the kids dance to the music – when the music stops, have them sit on the balloons to make them pop! Challenge the kids to pop all of the balloons by the end of the song.
