POP! Goes the Balloon

As the morning began and the fog slowly faded away, Mrs Raj told Room 7 that we were going to play a balloon game. What we all had to do was, we all had to hold hands in a circle on the court and try to make the balloon stay in the air. We played this game for fitness and also to help us write a recount about the game afterwards.

As we glanced onto the court, the girls had to wait for the boys to have their turn first. When the boys were playing, the girls went for a jog around the court while they were playing. The balloon slowly went up and came down, a couple of the boys fell down letting the balloon to bounce off the ground and finally it was the girls turn.

We all hopped in a circle with all our arms linked and patiently waited for Mrs Raj to throw the balloon in the air. When she threw the balloon into the air, we were all competitive against each other, but we still worked as a team. As the game went on and on, the excitement grew more and more. The class members that were near the hill always had the balloon, so they pulled us towards the field, it was funny because we slowly made our way up the hill and onto the field. There was a slight breeze which made the balloon stay in the air, as well as us hitting it made it stay up. All of a sudden, the balloon went out of the circle and no one was strong enough to pull all of us towards it and we all just heard a POP!

As the balloon popped we all laughed because we didn’t see it coming. We all got a fright, but the game was still fun. I felt joyous because of the fun game we played. We all worked as a team and tried hard to keep the balloon in the air. I hope everyone had fun, because I sure did!
