Balloon Activity

Directions – Give 12 students a balloon and a piece of string. Inflate your balloon and tie it to the string. Tie the other end to your ankle.

Rules:

· If your balloon is not popped after 1 minute, you win

· No running

Questions:

1.) How was win-win possible in the game?

2.) Why did win-win not occur?

3.) If you were a winner in the balloon game, do you think your feelings of success would be lessened if more people had won? Why or why not?

4.) When you practice win-lose, you may briefly feel like a winner, but what are the long-term results of this attitude?
