Activity:
Balloon Tennis Races

Paper plates, over-sized Popsicle sticks, balloon, and hot glue.
To make your racket glue the Popsicle stick near the bottom of the paper plate.
How to play:
Separate children into two teams. Give each team a balloon. Team must line up at starting point. Designate a finish line. When you say go teams must use their racket to try and get the balloon to the finish line *NO DOUBLE HITS FROM THE SAME PLAYER*
The kids seemed to really enjoy this game it was cool to see how they worked together to get the ball successfully to the finish line.
