        Top tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        • For those finding it easy, try using multiple balloons or working as a group<\/li>
        • Make it harder by adding rice to the balloons, which will make them fall more quickly<\/li>
        • If you\u2019re supporting the player, join in as part of their team, or offer support to those who need it<\/li>
        • Make it more sensory with different coloured or shaped balloons \u2013 bright colours are great \u2013 or add a very small amount of ice to each balloon before blowing them up to give them sound<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
