Balloon Countdown
Want to do something special this New Year's Eve? How about a countdown where you pop a balloon every hour starting at 6 PM? Here’s how to do it!
What you'll need
- Balloons
- Marker
- String
- Scissors
- Wooden skewer
How it works
-
Inflate 7 balloons and, if you like, put a note with a surprise or activity inside each balloon. It can be anything – a riddle, a dance, or a game.
-
Write a time on each balloon – from 6 PM to midnight. Attach the balloons to a string in your living room or wherever your New Year's party is taking place.
-
Starting at 6 PM, pop a balloon every hour and see what surprise or activity is inside. Maybe it’s a joke to tell, a little dance, or a fun game.
-
Your balloon countdown will make New Year's Eve an exciting experience, and the time until midnight will fly by. Have fun celebrating and discovering!
