What You'll Need:
- Several Balloons (one for each child)
- Two Magnifying Glasses
- Tape
Preparation:
Tie or tape several balloons to a wall or fence outside. They should each be about 1' - 2' off the ground, 1' - 2' apart, and within view of the sun by the time the party starts.
At The Party:
Give two children one magnifying glass each. Demonstrate how to position the magnifying glasses to capture the sun's rays, which will heat a spot on the balloons and make them pop. A bright spot will appear on the surface of each balloon just before it pops.
Start the contest. The first person to pop his/her balloon wins. Give the winner a small prize, and let the next two guests go. Repeat until everyone has had a chance to pop a balloon.
