Game description

The group member with the largest lung capacity is to be found. Everyone is allowed one try. Take in one deep breath and blow out in one go without breathing in again and blow a balloon along. A measuring tape is used to determine who has managed to get their balloon the furthest.


The players put their balloon part way in a bucket of water. Who can blow up their balloon the fastest and cause the water to overflow the bucket? Or, who can blow up their balloon until it pops the fastest (in this case the bucket must be big or the balloon small)?


The largest distance is measured with a measuring tape.
