Description

Building free standing towers using balloons and tape

Resources

Balloons (15-20 per team) and tape (masking tape is best but Sellotape works)

Instructions

Split the group into teams with 4-6 people in them. Give each team the same number of balloons and a roll of tape. Masking tape is best. Other tapes are ok. Different shapes of balloons add a different element of challenge. Older aged groups can blow up the balloons themselves. Younger groups may need balloons that are blown up for them.

The challenge is for each team to work together to create a tower made only of balloons stuck together with tape. The tower must not be attached to the floor, wall or any other object. Give the teams a time limit. 10-15 minutes is usually plenty. The winning team is the one with the tallest tower in the given time.
