| Required: | Small Balloons - 3 per scout String - 2 foot lengths |
| Preparation: | Blow up all the balloons very full so they are easier to pop. Tie a string to each balloon. |
| Instructions: | Mark off a safe play area with a circular rope. Tie a balloon to each scout's left foot. Everyone tries to stomp all the other balloons. When your balloon is popped, you leave the play area. Last one with a balloon wins. If played indoors, play in stocking feet to make smashed feet less of a problem. Have patrols play as teams to see which patrol is left. Even if you do not spell this out, it is good to have a very short reflection to discuss if it was fun, if there was any teamwork going on, what strategies worked. In this, as in almost all elimination games, if a patrol works together, they tend to have a better chance at winning. |
