Balloon Discussion
Description
Use this activity to involve students in discussion.
Materials
- Small Balloons
- Permanent Marker
- List of discussion questions.
Preparation
- Inflate the balloons.
- Write one discussion question on each balloon.
What to do
Toss the balloons in the air. Balloons must not touch the ground. If a balloon touches the ground, either the person nearest the balloon OR the last person to touch the balloon must read the question aloud then answer it. After the question has been answered, toss the balloons back in the air and go another round. You may wish to write the same question on more than one balloon. If a question gets asked too many times, just pop the balloon and remove it from the play.
Variations
This also works great as an icebreaker activity. Instead of discussion questions, use icebreaker questions!
