Balloon Rocket

This balloon rocket whooshes across the children’s room. How is this rocket with a balloon motor made? Take a small tube and thread it onto a rope. Stretch the rope across the room. If possible use a smooth rope with a smooth surface. Inflate the balloon and stick it to the tube with tape or masking tape. Let go of the balloon.

Hints for youth club session:

You can give the children all the materials and get them to devise a way of getting the balloon from A to B in a straight a line as possible. It will be interesting to see if they can come up with the solution.

A spiritual tip:

We can’t see Jesus –just like air
Yet he still moves us into action and gives us strength.
Without Jesus we are like a balloon without air.
