Balloon Games for Children's MinistryPop the Balloon GameWhat you will need:Paper, Balloons, Bucket and Small BallsHow to Play:After teaching a memory work verse, we reinforced it by playing this game:Write each word of the verse on a small index-size sheet of paper, roll it up, and insert it into a balloon. Blow up the balloon with the paper inside and tie it.Have your children take turns throwing a ball into a bucket that is a couple of feet away (We gave them two balls and two tries.) If they get the ball in the bucket, they get to take one of the balloons and break it to get the verse out. Once all the balloons are broken, have your children put the words in order. We played this with two teams and the kids found it quite exciting. It is helpful to have helpers that will stand behind the bucket and return the balls to the next person in line.

In class have the children stand around the room. Explain to the children that the Bible says that Samuel didn't let any of God's words fall to the ground. That means that when God told him to do something, he did it. Tell them that you wrote some of God's words on the balloons. Show them the balloons and what they say. These are all important things that we need to do. Let's see if we can keep them from falling on the ground. Tell the children that they can not move from where they are standing. They have to keep both feet on the floor.
Tell them that when you start playing some music you will throw out a balloon, they should try to keep it from falling on the floor. If it touches the floor, they can't pick it up again. Keep throwing in the balloons until all of them are up in the air. Keep playing until all the balloons have fallen on the floor. At the end of the game remind the children that when we listen to God's words and obey them, we are keeping them from falling on the ground.Instead of the teacher throwing in the balloons one at a time, you can give the children all the balloons and tell them to throw them up in the air when the music starts.Balloon Games on Other Pages.
