Balloon races

Get a pack of regular balloons, round is perfect, at your local store.  They can be purchased for the amount of loose change under the cushions of your couch.  Bring 'em home and blow them up.  This is half the fun, even if you do end up a bit lightheaded.  Now for the real fun.  There are any number of ways to race, but you can try them all and come up with your own too.  Try running around a small obstacle course in your living room made up of chairs and string.  The catch is that you can only use one hand to bat the balloon along the way.  Try to run the course with the balloon between your legs and using no hands.  With some of these races, it is wise to remember the story of the tortoise and the hare - slow and steady wins the race!
