Step-by-Step Instructions

expand_circle_down
  1. Creatively divide your group into pairs.
  2. Provide each person with an inflated balloon.
  3. Each person faces their partner about 2 to 3 metres apart.
  4. Demonstrate the ‘balloon propulsion’ technique, eg hold the balloon gently in one hand and pull the tied tail back with the other hand then release, propelling the balloon forward.
  5. Partners propel their balloons at the same time, aiming to have their balloons collide or connect.
  6. When balloons collide, invite each person to share a response with their partner to a question you have posed to your group.
  7. Repeat the process with more questions or new partners.
