Required: balloons, string and safe play area
Players: large groups
Pick one person to be the Zombie, that player will not be given a balloon. All other players will be given one balloon with a piece of string to tie around their waste.
Once the balloon is tied on, players must position the balloon to be in the middle of their back, clearly exposed. Players are given a 45 second head start to hide from the Zombie. The Zombie is released and has to make other Zombies by popping other players balloons.
Once a player’s balloon is popped (either accidentally or by a Zombie) they become a Zombie and begin to pop other player’s balloons as well.
The game is timed and at the end when the allotted time is complete, any non-Zombies will be given a treat.
You can play this great game at a youth group lock-in, birthday parties or sleepover. An option is to play this in the dark with minimal lighting.
