Do you play games during your holiday gatherings? Our family does — we’re big on games. One of the fun ones we played this year was very simple — the plastic balloon challenge.
The mechanics are easy to follow. Grab on to your own tube and straw. At the game master’s signal, create the biggest plastic balloon you can with only that tube. Whoever has the biggest plastic balloon wins.
The last time I probably played with plastic balloon was in gradeschool. Eons and eons and eons ago. I had so much fun trying to create the biggest balloon I could from this little blob. Good thing I had fun because I failed miserably! Here are the winners of our challenge:
Once the winners were awarded, we all put out plastic balloons together and created a snowman!
There were still some tubes left over, so I went for my second attempt. HA! I should have won. Competitive!!!
The plastic balloon challenge is quick to mount. It’s also cheap. Each tube costs only P1.00. Grown-ups and children will enjoy the game. Just don’t forget to clean up afterwards!

I remember the plastic balloons which I played a lot with when I was a kid. Hmm… Luis has never played with one though. I’m just afraid that he’d do what I did, chew it after like a chewing gum haha. But I’ll be sure to buy some the next time we go home for vacation

February 12, 2013 at 3:35 am (11 years ago)The brain by itself is a non-committal entity. It feels no pain. The pain of headache comes from the tissues surrounding the brain, the attaching structure at the base of the brain. The muscles, the scalp vessels, the vessel of the face and neck, may cause cluster headache. Or it may be specifically to blood vessels dilation or to inflammation of nerves behind the eyes..
