Ingredients
Cotton Balls: Lightweight and easy to blow across most surfaces.
Straws: Regular drinking straws are perfect; you may choose to cut them in half for easier management by small children.
Instructions
Set Up
:
Mark a
starting line
and a
finish line
on a flat surface, such as a table or the floor.
Distribute
cotton balls
and
straws
to each participant.
Objective
:
Participants must blow their cotton ball from the starting line to the finish line without touching it with their hands.
Game On
:
Position the children at the starting line with their cotton balls and straws.
Each child will use the straw at the signal to blow air onto the cotton ball, propelling it toward the finish line.
Rules
:
Touching the cotton ball with anything other than air blown through the straw results in a reset to the starting line.
Winner
:
The first child to get their cotton ball across the finish line solely using air from the straw wins the race.
Notes
Variations
:
Incorporate obstacles along the race path for added challenges.
Use different breath techniques to move the cotton ball, such as short puffs or continuous breaths.
