Game Description: Martians will roam around and try to pop the Astronauts balloons – and destroy their oxygen tank air supply! This exciting game really gets players moving and laughing. It does take a little bit of preparation time beforehand to fill up lots of balloons, but it’s worth it in the end! Just remind students to play with care.
How To Play:
- Choose 4 or 5 players who are astronauts. They must tie a balloon around their ankle with a piece of string.
