Balloon shooting is a carnival-style game where players try to pop balloons using darts, pellet guns, or sometimes water guns. Colorful balloons are set up as targets, often pinned to a board or floating in water. Players get a certain number of shots to try and pop as many balloons as they can. It’s a test of aim and accuracy that’s exciting for all ages.
How?
Set up a safe area with a backdrop to catch missed shots. Inflate balloons and attach them to a board or float them in a container. Give players darts or a toy gun with soft pellets or water. Explain the rules: how many shots they get, how points are scored, and any safety rules. Let players take their shots, keeping track of how many balloons they pop. Award prizes based on performance.
