Water Balloons

Need a break from the heat?  Try some fun water balloon activities!

Beginning language learners at the 1-3 word levels:

  • Talk about turning the water on each time you fill a balloon
  • Talk about throwing at the 2 word level (ex: mom throw or Joey throw, I throw)
  • Talk about wet each time the balloon pops

For higher level language targets:
  • Talk about different places to fill up the balloons (ie: hose, sink, etc).
  • Talk about different ways to pop the balloons (i.e: squeeze it, step on it, throw it) or different things to pop it with (i.e: stick, fork, etc).
  • Experiment with size: make a big water balloon and a little water ballon- which is easier to pop?

Most of all-- Have fun!
