Balloon caterpillar game

Several teams compete in a race where each group grows their caterpillar with balloons at each turn. Which balloon caterpillar will finish first? A lighthearted game to play in good spirits 😀.

Game description

This is a team game. Form teams of 5 to 10 people (maximum). Players line up one behind the other, and a few meters in front of each team, there is a table with balloons. Each team has its own table. All teams will play simultaneously, and a race will begin.

At the signal, one player runs to the table, goes around it, and takes a balloon. They return to their team, and the balloon is placed between the back of the first player and the stomach of the second player. The two players then proceed, ensuring the balloon doesn’t fall. This continues until all players have taken their turn, forming a caterpillar. Everyone must keep the balloons between their back and stomach without using their hands.

If a balloon falls, the caterpillar stops. The balloon is picked up, and the game resumes. The person behind the one who dropped the balloon can hold their own balloon with their hands and pick up the fallen balloon to put it back in place. Only then can the caterpillar start moving again.

Necessary accessories

- One table per team
- Approximately as many balloons as there are players

End of the game

The game ends when each team has formed a complete caterpillar with all the balloons, and the last team has crossed the finish line.

Nothing beats a little caterpillar demonstration

It’s not just the little ones who have fun with this type of game 😅.
