Balloon pop game

At party each child gets to throw a dart to pop a balloon, once the balloon is popped they read out what letter is printed inside on a piece of paper. If the letter is from the birthday boy or girls name, they win a prize.

Material

26 Balloons 2 different colours to make eyes
26 Letters of the alphabet printed on plain paper
1 Wooden board
1 Tin spray paint to cover board (optional)
1 Black marker to draw pupils
1 Dart
26 Pins

Method

Spray wooden board colour theme of your party (optional).
Cut out letters and add a letter inside every balloon before you blow them up.
Pin balloons to the board putting 2 different colours in the centre and draw pupils on them.

Notes

My son had a yellow 3rd birthday party, we put it on top of a rubber mat all the kids enjoyed.

what a great birthday game particularly for older kids who you cant really play pass the parcel with. Thanks for sharing.

What are the letters for? Just to add some extra learning or something?

How very creative. What do the kids do with the letters? Is it some sort of competition?

I remembered one time for my son’s birthday I tried out helium balloons and hired the air machine ( sorry forgot the real name ) . As the afternoon went buy a lot of the balloons started popping anyway so no need to purposely make it pop until the party is fully over and no kids want any balloons to take home.

if you don’t want to use a dart around kids, you could get a little messy and get a paintbrush with some paint, to show where you have landed with it, when it is thrown at the balloons

Fun idea you could do an adult version too with spot prizes for a fundraiser.
