  • 1 bag of balloons

  • 1 roll of masking tape

Directions: 

  • Break into teams (even number of people, if possible)*

  • Give each team a bag of balloons and a roll of tape 

  • Allow four minutes of brainstorming and planning

  • When you say “Go!” the tower building can begin 

  • Let the teams build for 10 minutes, giving time announcements at five minutes, two minutes and one minute remaining

  • At the end, whichever team has the tallest, freestanding tower wins


*If your group is larger than 6, split into smaller teams.
